Uganda has not issued clear, specific rules on how an individual’s crypto gains are taxed, so treatment for a relocating individual remains uncertain and would need case‑by‑case advice.
“The government of Uganda does not recognize any crypto-currency as legal tender in Uganda. The government of Uganda has not licensed any organization in Uganda to sell crypto-currencies or to facilitate the trade in crypto-currencies and so these organizations are not regulated by the Government or any of its agencies.” — Bank of Uganda
