As churchill for a nation to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket & trying to lift himself up by the handle.

This tax is a constraint to freedom of expression. It ignores and it is in contravention with Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights 1948 which states that the fundamental right of freedom of expression encompasses the freedom to seek,receive and impact information and ideas through any media regardless of frontiers.

This is not just tax but censorship of the Internet and access to information hence abuse of one of the fundamental human rights.

Government should manage their expenses better instead of trying to overburden the populace. This tax lacks any justification and it is weird. How do they tax us for using apps the Ug Gov't did not develop? Let's go to court.

This is a retrogressive tax that should be scrapped.

triple charge is nothing more than oppression of the majority, youths and unemployed. It is enough paying tax on airtime

You can’t tax people for something you don’t make, own or have any control over. That’s just absurd!
