In addition to the more than 500 companies subject to mandatory e-invoicing in 2022, further similar phases are planned until 2025, gradually extending this obligation until all VAT invoices in Egypt will be subject to e-invoicing.
Tax registrants must be able to generate e-invoices in XML or JSON format and electronically sign them using HSM or USB token. Furthermore each invoice contains dedicated UUID number, required in case of amending documents e.g. credit or debit notes, which is assigned by the Egyptian Tax Authority (ETA). Once approved a notification will be sent to the issuer and recipient who, after integration with Egyptian system, are able to download the e-invoices and securely archive the data in case of any tax audit.
