It is wrong to say that Government should not tax private
school profits. Given the PAYE
threshold, I don't see the logic of Government not taxing the profits of
private schools. Some people seem not to
be aware that there are some private schools which can increase the school dues
and parents pay without question given that there is conviction that being in
such schools is almost being sure of a child's success.
I however think that if this tax is implemented, it should
go to a collection account to benefit Community Schools. It is sad that as things are, many children
are unable to go to UPE schools. The
distribution of this schools is another factor.
Many more schools are needed to see that all children go to school, and
one way of raising money for this cause can be through the tax generated from
the profits of the private schools. If
this is done, it will be a great shame for Uganda to see that more children are
registered as illiterate at this moment in time.
