Abstract
This report documents UGAMOD, the SOUTHMOD model developed for Uganda. It describes the different tax–benefit policies in place, how the microsimulation model picks up these different provisions, and the database on which the model runs. It concludes with a validation of UGAMOD results against external data sources.The results presented in this report are derived using UGAMOD version 1.8 running on EUROMOD software version 3.1.8. This work was carried out by Uganda Revenue Authority (URA) and Makerere University in collaboration with the project partners.
The UGAMOD model and its documentation in this country report has been prepared within the UNU-WIDER project ‘SOUTHMOD – simulating tax and benefit policies for development’.
