Egypt’s national e-invoicing platform has now processed over 1.5 billion electronic documents, marking a major milestone in the country’s digital tax transformation, according to Rasha Abdel Aal, Head of the Egyptian Tax Authority (ETA), The Daily Egypt News reports
Abdel Aal emphasized that businesses seeking to take advantage of Egypt’s new simplified tax regime—introduced under Law No. 6 of 2025—must first enroll in the e-invoicing system. The regime applies to enterprises with annual revenues of up to EGP 20 million and aims to ease tax calculation and filing for smaller businesses.
Since July 1, 2023, only electronic invoices have been accepted for expense deductions and VAT refund claims, making enrollment in the e-invoicing or e-receipt platform mandatory, depending on a company’s activity.
Describing the e-invoicing initiative as a “major evolution” in the relationship between the Authority and businesses, Abdel Aal noted that the system enhances tax oversight, reduces evasion, and helps integrate the informal economy. It also aligns Egypt’s tax practices with global standards.
Benefits for compliant businesses include faster VAT refunds, improved expense tracking, lower audit risk, and greater operational efficiency.
