Egypt's e-invoice system, run by the Egyptian Tax Authority, requires registered companies to issue their business-to-business invoices electronically. The e-receipt for sales to individuals is being applied in phases. Preparing means organizing your financial data and connecting your sales or accounting system to the e-invoice system.
Step by step
- 1
Confirm where you stand
Check with your accountant which phase your company falls under and the deadlines that apply to it at the Tax Authority.
- 2
Prepare your data
Item and service codes, your customers' tax details, and the correct classification for each item.
- 3
Register and get your signature
Register on the system and obtain the approved electronic signature tool.
- 4
Choose how to issue invoices
Manually through the system's portal for a small number of invoices, or by connecting your accounting system to it for a large number.
- 5
Review and reconcile
Regularly reconcile what is in your system with what is in the e-invoice system before you file your tax returns.
The rules and phases are updated from time to time, so always rely on the latest guidance from the Egyptian Tax Authority and on your company's accountant.
