Egyptian Tax Authority Mandates E-Invoicing for Transactions Between Registered Suppliers
The Egyptian Tax Authority (ETA) has clarified that all companies and commercial entities whose sales and transactions are conducted with registered suppliers are now required to issue electronic invoices for such dealings. This move is part of the government’s digital transformation efforts aimed at streamlining tax compliance and ensuring full adherence to the invoicing regulations.
The ETA emphasized that the e-invoicing system is not only intended to document transactions but also to protect supplier rights, ensure deductibility of approved expenses, and facilitate VAT refunds. This supports accurate accounting procedures and reduces the risk of expense rejection during audits.
For transactions with end consumers, businesses must use the e-receipt system, which complements the e-invoicing framework and covers retail sales, service transactions, and daily dealings with individuals.
The authority has provided guidelines and technical manuals to assist taxpayers in registering, using, and integrating with the digital systems, ensuring a smooth transition from traditional methods. Multiple support channels are available, including the hotline 16395 and the ETA’s Digital Transformation Support Centers.
Non-compliance with e-invoicing requirements may result in financial penalties, highlighting the importance of adopting the system promptly.
