Kampala-The Uganda Revenue Authority (URA) has relocated its Real Estate Tax Office from its headquarters in Nakawa to RR Pearl Tower One, a property belonging to businessman and entrepreneur Dr. Sudhir Ruparelia, in a move aimed at improving service delivery to taxpayers.
According to a public notice issued by URA, the Real Estate Tax Office officially moved to the new premises on September 7, 2026.
The office is now located on the 9th Floor of RR Pearl Tower One along Yusuf Lule Road, opposite the Ministry of Health headquarters.
URA said the relocation is intended to make it easier for taxpayers to access real estate tax services while improving the authority’s service delivery.

The relocation also puts one of URA’s specialised tax offices in a landmark building associated with the Ruparelia Group, one of Uganda’s prominent business empires and biggest real estate tax payer in Uganda.
RR Pearl Tower forms part of the Ruparelia Group’s extensive property portfolio. The “RR” Pearl name is associated with the Ruparelia family and honours the late Rajiv Ruparelia, Dr. Sudhir Ruparelia’s son, whose death in 2026 shocked Uganda’s business community and beyond.
Rajiv was widely known for his involvement in the family’s business interests and philanthropic activities before his untimely death.
The choice of RR Pearl Tower as the new home for URA’s Real Estate Tax Office comes at a time when Uganda continues to place greater emphasis on improving compliance and revenue collection from the rapidly expanding real estate sector.
Real estate taxation remains an important area for URA, given the growth of commercial and residential property developments, particularly in Kampala and other urban centres.
URA has asked taxpayers seeking services from the Real Estate Tax Office to take note of the new location.
For inquiries, the authority provided its toll-free numbers 0800 217 000 and 0800 117 000, WhatsApp line 0772 140 000, and email services@ura.go.ug. #TheSpy
