Egyptian Tax Authority issues over 1.6 bln e-invoices, receipts

Rasha Abdel-Aal, Head of the Egyptian Tax Authority, confirmed that in line with the Minister of Finance's directives to transition to digital systems, the authority has issued more than 1.6 billion e-invoices and over 1.6 billion e-receipts as part of the country's push to digitize its tax system.

She urged the public to embrace using digital documents, emphasizing that keeping e-receipts ensures a consumer's right to return or exchange purchases. She added that e-invoices protect merchants by providing a clear record of goods and preventing suspicious transactions.

The head of the Tax Authority added that both the e-invoice and e-receipt systems are designed to track all transactions within the tax community, helping to bring the informal economy into the formal system and eliminate fraudulent activities. The systems also collect a vast amount of commercial data that can be used to create consumption patterns and support economic decision-making.

She highlighted that taxpayers addressed by Decree No. 281 of 2025—which pertains to the second sub-phase of the eighth main phase of the e-receipt system—must comply with the technological requirements for issuing electronic tax receipts. They also must register on the "Your Invoice - Your Protection and Your Prize" incentive program portal starting September 15.

She continued by stating that the authority has provided all information about the e-invoice and e-receipt systems available on its official website, Facebook, and YouTube pages. It has also published a guide on its website titled "Your Guide to Dealing with the E-Receipt System.", which allows the tax community to access all information about the e-receipt system.
