Uganda Mobile Money Tariff Structure

  • 0.5% Mobile Money Tax: Under Uganda's Excise Duty Act, a 0.5% government tax is levied exclusively on money withdrawals (cash-out). Deposits, sending money, and paying utilities are exempt from this specific tax.
  • MTN MoMo (*165#) vs Airtel Money (*185#): Both networks utilize stepped tariff bands (e.g. UGX 500-2,500, UGX 2,501-5,000, UGX 5,001-15,000, up to UGX 5,000,000 daily limit). Sending registered is cheaper than sending unregistered.
  • Reverse Net Send: When transferring money for medical bills, rent, or school fees, use Reverse Send mode to ensure the recipient receives the exact required cash amount after booth agent fees and government tax.
