About the Egypt E-Invoicing Mandate

Egypt’s e-invoicing regime, enforced by the Egyptian Tax Authority (ETA), applies to all VAT-registered businesses, regardless of industry or size. The system is designed to digitize every transaction, B2B and B2C, and ensure tax transparency and compliance through real-time invoice clearance.

Key requirements:

All invoices must be submitted electronically via the ETA’s e-invoicing platform
Invoices must be structured in JSON or XML format
Each invoice must carry a unique UUID (Universal Unique Identifier)
Invoices must be digitally signed
Real-time transmission and clearance is required before finalizing any transaction
B2B and Government invoices must be exchanged electronically

This clearance model enables authorities to audit and control tax transactions as they happen.
