VAT in Egypt
Egypt applies Value Added Tax at a standard rate of 14%, administered by the Egyptian Tax Authority (ETA). Some goods and services are taxed at other rates or exempt.
e-invoicing and e-receipts
Egypt has rolled out a mandatory electronic invoicing system for B2B transactions and an e-receipt system for B2C sales. Registered businesses must issue documents through the ETA platform in the required structured format, with digital signatures and standardised product codes.
What a compliant invoice needs
- Seller name, address and tax registration number
- Buyer details and tax number for B2B
- A unique invoice number and issue date
- Coded line items with quantity and unit price
- The taxable amount, VAT rate and VAT amount (in EGP)
- The total payable including VAT
Invoicing on the go
Distribution and retail teams still need to issue a valid document at the point of sale. Invoice Max Pro is offline-first, so your team can invoice anywhere and sync to the backend when a connection returns.
