Mr. Lugezi enters into a contract to offer accounting services to Bagaga Kwegata SACCOS. He is to be paid UGX 80 Million for the service for the entire financial year. To do this work effectively, he has to buy a modern laptop at UGX 20 million. He also estimates that he will use fuel of about 500,000= per month. Bagaga Kwegata tells him to choose whether he will be an employee so that they deduct PAYE from him, or an independent contractor where they will only deduct Withholding tax.

1. Mr. Lugezi comes to you for advice. Show him what the tax treatment will be for each of the two options and advise him on which he should take.
2. Assume that Mr. Lugezi has taken the option of being an employee. He also has a part time job as a lecturer at Bagaga Kwegata School of Accounting, where he is paid UGX 50,000= per week. How much tax will he pay on this part-time job for the financial year?
