Uganda’s High Court dismissed a judicial-review application challenging value-added tax on adult diapers in a ruling dated March 19, 2026, according to New Vision. The case was brought by Women’s Probono Initiative and Nakyanzi Getulida against the Attorney General.
ULII’s indexed case summary identifies the decision as [2026] UGHCCD 75. It says a constitutional petition, rather than judicial review, is the appropriate route to challenge an Act of Parliament imposing VAT.
The reported outcome concerns the legal procedure used. It should not be read as a finding that the tax is fair or as a new tax introduced in 2026. This brief draws on the court report and case-record summary; the full judgment was not accessible during verification.
