This guide provides an overview of e-Invoicing requirements in Egypt, including the legal framework, the use of the Egyptian Tax Authority (ETA) e-Invoicing Platform, compliance obligations, and key reporting considerations. It is intended to assist businesses that issue or receive invoices for transactions subject to Egyptian VAT.
Egypt implemented a mandatory e-invoicing and e-receipt framework under the supervision of the Egyptian Tax Authority (ETA) as part of a broader digital tax transformation strategy. The system was introduced in phased waves beginning in 2020 and operates under a centralized clearance model via the ETA e-Invoicing Portal. The objective is to enhance tax transparency, combat fraud and shadow economy activity, streamline VAT compliance, and digitize both domestic and cross-border transaction reporting.
Egypt’s e-Invoicing mandate is fully active.
