The 60-second version

Uganda exit needs employer PAYE certificate and URA compliance check. I export NSSF statements, close UGX/USD account, wire to NRE, and map RNOR for retained holdings.

URA withholding certificate before bank dormancy

Uganda taxes residents on worldwide income — I obtain employer PAYE reconciliation and confirm URA TIN has no open assessments.

Work permit cancel through employer; retain immigration exit documentation for India ITR overlap year.

NSSF member statement export even if lump-sum not yet paid — needed for Form 67 and benefit claims.
