Where Khata works
Khata in Uganda
The shilling has no subunit in practice, so a ledger that insists on two decimal places is adding two digits of noise to every line of it.

What Khata does not do in Uganda
Currency and phone numbers follow your country. Tax does not — worth knowing before you move your books across.
- The sales tax is not renamed for your country
- A business record carries a registration type of PAN, VAT or GST and nothing else. Khata will not print TRN, BIN, NTN or your local equivalent on a bill, and it does not know your country's rates.
- There is no compliance calendar outside India and Nepal
- Filing reminders exist for those two only. Everywhere else the app tracks your sales and stock and leaves the filing dates to you.
- No financial-year or week-start setting
- Reports are run by picking dates. Nothing defaults to your tax year or opens the week on your local first day, because neither is stored.
- One business is one country
- The country chosen at signup sets the currency for everything that business does. A group trading across two countries needs one business per country.
