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.
