Build on the same platform your tax team files on
VitalReturns exposes a REST API, webhooks and SDKs so your ERP, payroll, invoicing or custom accounting system can file returns, settle PRNs and reconcile EFRIS without a human hop.
A programmable tax pipeline
- REST + OpenAPI
Fully documented REST endpoints with a maintained OpenAPI 3 spec — generate your own client in any language.
- Webhooks
Subscribe to filing events (submitted, acknowledged, rejected, paid) and let your system react in real time.
- Scoped API keys
Create keys per integration with precisely-scoped permissions — rotate without touching your other integrations.
- SDKs
First-party TypeScript / JavaScript and Python SDKs with typed responses and automatic retries on transient failures.
- Versioned endpoints
Explicit API versioning — breaking changes land under a new version and the previous version keeps serving your production traffic.
- Sandbox environment
A full sandbox API with simulated URA submission so you can test end-to-end flows without touching production.
Who integrates with VitalReturns
Common integration patterns we see across Ugandan businesses.
- ERP & accounting
Push the monthly trial balance from QuickBooks / Sage / Odoo / a custom ERP; file VAT and PAYE from the same ledger.
- Payroll & HR
Sync employees + run outputs from your payroll system; VitalReturns prepares and files the PAYE return on schedule.
- Compliance platforms
Pull filing status + URA receipts into your KYC, audit or lender platform — attribution preserved via the audit trail.
