Uganda Withholding (URA) — Supplier

Uganda Withholding (URA) — Supplier

Apply Uganda URA Withholding (VAT and Income) on posted vendor bills via simple wizards.

Overview

For supplier bills subject to URA withholding. This module lets you apply Withholding VAT and Withholding Income on posted vendor bills with editable base/amount. It creates clean, separate journal entries and attempts partial reconciliation against payable lines. Original bills remain intact for clean audits.

Key Features

✅ Withholding Application
  • Apply WHT VAT on posted vendor bills (editable base and amount)
  • Apply WHT Income on vendor bills and credit notes (editable)
  • Simple wizard interfaces accessible from posted documents
✅ Smart Journal Entries
  • Dr Supplier Payable (partner) — withheld amount (reduces what you owe)
  • Cr URA WHT Payable account(s) — tracks tax due to URA
  • Original bill remains completely intact
✅ Auto Reconciliation
  • Auto partial reconcile against payable lines where possible
  • Linked documents for instant access
  • Clean, auditable trails
✅ Security & Compliance
  • Multi-company safe, sudo-secured only for posting steps
  • No core Odoo overrides or invasive changes
  • Permissions: Any Accounting User can run the wizards

How It Works

The Uganda URA Withholding (Supplier) module follows a simple but robust workflow:

1. Vendor Bill Processing
  • Create and post vendor bills normally in Odoo
  • No changes to your existing workflow
2. Withholding Wizards
  • From a posted vendor bill (or credit note), open the relevant wizard: - "Apply WHT VAT" - "Apply WHT Income"
  • The base and withheld amounts are editable; suggested journal/accounts are provided
3. Journal Entry Creation
  • The module creates a separate journal entry for the withholding
  • Debits the supplier payable (partner) and credits the URA WHT account
  • The original bill remains untouched
4. Automatic Reconciliation
  • The system attempts partial reconciliation against the bill's payable line
  • Net amount due to the supplier is reduced accordingly
5. Compliance & Reporting
  • Withheld amounts accumulate in dedicated liability account(s)
  • Easy reporting for URA filings
  • Clear link between source bill and withholding entry
Example Workflow:
  • Original Bill: UGX 1,000,000 to Supplier ABC
  • WHT VAT Applied: UGX 20,000 (example)
  • Result: You owe Supplier ABC UGX 980,000; URA gets UGX 20,000
  • All properly documented with linked entries

What Gets Posted

When you apply withholding through a wizard, the system creates a separate move, e.g.:

Dr Supplier Payable (partner)      XXX.XX
    Cr URA WHT Payable (VAT/Income)       XXX.XX

The original vendor bill remains completely intact, ensuring no disruption to your standard accounting processes.
