Uganda Revenue Authority, or URA, recruits through its official careers pages and online careers portal. As at 15 November 2026, the latest external vacancy notice visible in URA's careers archive is from 28 July 2025, and its deadline of 16 August 2025 has passed. Do not treat that advert as open.
URA says it does not charge money for recruitment. Never pay anyone to get a URA job, interview or shortlist.
Start with URA's Careers archive and the Careers at URA page. The archive is the official place to check for a new external advertisement or internship notice.
URA also directs applicants to its Experiential Hiring page. URA describes this approach as assessing demonstrated skills, abilities and experience alongside traditional qualifications.
For internships, URA's official internship page directs applicants to careers.ura.go.ug. Check the live advert and job description before applying because the role requirements, documents and closing time can change for each recruitment.
| What to check | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Job title and job description | These set the qualifications, experience and other conditions for that specific role. |
| Closing date and time | Submit before the deadline stated in the current official notice. |
| Application route | The 2025 external notice required online applications only. |
| Number of roles you may select | Follow the limit in the current advert. The 2025 notice allowed a maximum of two positions. |
Use these steps when URA publishes a live advert. They are based on URA's July 2025 external recruitment instructions, so confirm each detail against the new notice before you submit.
| Step | What to do |
|---|---|
| 1. Read the official job description | Open the vacancy through URA Careers and check that you meet the stated qualifications and experience. |
| 2. Go to the URA careers portal | Use the official portal linked by URA: careers.ura.go.ug. |
| 3. Complete the online application | The 2025 notice said only online applications would be considered. Save your work if you cannot finish, then return and complete it before the advertised closing time. |
| 4. Upload the required academic evidence | The 2025 notice required scanned copies of the academic documents named in the job description, such as transcripts, O-level and A-level certificates, degree certificates or other training evidence. |
| 5. Submit and check email | URA said a submitted application would receive an acknowledgement notification by email. Keep enough mailbox space and retain the acknowledgement. |
| 6. Wait for the next stage | URA says it evaluates applications against qualifications, experience and job requirements. Shortlisted applicants receive interview invitations, and final appointment is on merit. |
There is no single qualification list for every URA job. Match your application to the individual job description. In the latest external notice retrieved, URA warned that any qualification not attached would not be considered, and said successful candidates' academic documents would be vetted and background checks conducted.
The 2025 advert also gave role-specific guidance: degree holders should not apply for Fleet Assistant and Office Assistant posts because those positions had diploma as the maximum qualification. This was guidance for that 2025 advertisement, not a rule to assume for future vacancies.
Apply through URA's official website and the careers portal it links to. Do not send money to a recruiter, agent or social-media account. URA's 2025 external notice states that URA is an equal opportunity employer and does not charge money for recruitment.
If a message claims that a past advert is still accepting applications, compare it with the official notice and deadline. The last external notice shown in URA's career archive was posted on 28 July 2025 and closed on 16 August 2025 at 10:59pm.
Check the official URA Careers archive and the URA careers portal. As at 15 November 2026, the latest external vacancy notice visible in the archive was posted on 28 July 2025 and its 16 August 2025 deadline has passed. Wait for a new official notice before applying.
When a live vacancy is published, open its job description through URA Careers, then apply through the official careers portal named by URA. The latest external notice required online applications only.
Use the current job description as the final checklist. In URA's 2025 external notice, applicants had to scan and attach required academic documents, including the relevant transcript, O-level, A-level, degree certificates or other training evidence stated in the description.
No. URA's external recruitment notice says it does not charge money for recruitment. Do not pay anyone for a job, application, shortlist or interview.
URA says applications are evaluated against qualifications, experience and job requirements. Shortlisted applicants receive interview invitations. Keep the email address used in your application accessible.
