- Egypt is transforming its tax system with e-invoicing and e-reporting initiatives led by the Egyptian Tax Authority.
- The e-invoicing system mandates VAT-registered businesses to issue and transmit invoices electronically.
- The system covers B2B, B2C, and B2G transactions, while e-reporting targets smaller businesses and retailers.
- The transition to e-invoicing is phased, starting in November 2020 with large taxpayers and expanding to medium and small enterprises.
- By April 2023, B2B compliance was underway, with B2C requirements starting in January 2025.
- The mandate affects all VAT-registered businesses, including foreign entities with a presence in Egypt.
- Businesses must register on the ETA platform, obtain a digital certificate, and integrate their systems with government infrastructure.
- Invoices must include specific fields and be submitted in XML or JSON format for validation.
- Non-compliance can lead to exclusion from government tenders and other penalties.
