How VitalReturns works end-to-end

Six steps that cover the full tax operating workflow — from first signup through payment and audit evidence. Works with the data you already have.

See every feature
  1. 1
    Create your workspace

    Sign up in 60 seconds. We verify your identifiers against URA, URSB and NIRA, then invite your team.

    • Workspace scoped to Individual, Company or Agency
    • Role-based access + TOTP MFA from day one
    • Audit trail recording starts immediately
  2. 2
    Bring your existing data

    VitalReturns reads what you already have. Bulk import taxpayers, chart of accounts, opening balances, bank statements and previous URA returns.

    • CSV + spreadsheet import for taxpayers, invoices, bills
    • Direct bank reconciliation on major Ugandan banks
    • EFRIS envelope backfill for VAT history
  3. 3
    See every obligation

    The compliance calendar surfaces every URA deadline across every taxpayer, with current status and penalty-risk ranked at the top.

    • Monthly VAT, PAYE, WHT, Excise + annual filings
    • Overdue, due-this-week and due-this-month views
    • Email + in-product reminders tiered by urgency
  4. 4
    Prepare validated returns

    Returns compile from your ledger. VitalReturns runs URA's own validation rules locally so you catch rejections before URA ever sees the workbook.

    • URA-faithful workbook per return type
    • Pre-filing validation + anomaly detection
    • Reviewer / approver signoff with digital signatures
  5. 5
    File and settle

    Submit directly to URA, generate the PRN automatically, and pay through the channel the taxpayer already uses.

    • Live URA submission + acknowledgement capture
    • MTN · Airtel · Flutterwave · Pesapal · direct bank
    • Payment auto-reconciled against the PRN + receipt
  6. 6
    Stay audit-ready

    Every mutation is captured in an immutable audit trail. Intelligent alerts tell you what's at risk before URA does.

    • Append-only audit log, exportable on demand
    • Filing-hygiene dashboard per taxpayer / per return type
    • AI-assisted post-filing: assessments, objections, refunds, TCC
