Instructions for Compiling the Daily Tax Return
The Bank of Uganda directs commercial banks to compile and submit daily tax remittance returns via the BSA platform to ensure proper liquidity management during CRR maintenance periods. Banks must log into the system, download and complete an Excel template containing remittance details, save the file, and upload it through the IISS Return Submission module. Submissions are verified by checking for a "Successful" status, with failed uploads requiring error file downloads or support emails to resolve discrepancies.
