The Egyptian Tax Authority (ETA) announced a new requirement for taxpayers to issue electronic receipts (e-receipts) for transactions with final consumers on 9 January 2025.
E-receipts, or electronic receipts, serve as proof of payment and are delivered digitally via email or text message, rather than being provided in paper form. Many countries have moved away from physical receipts, now accepting e-receipts as valid proof of purchase and for tax returns.
The ETA has launched a website offering further details for all parties impacted by this regulation.
This mandate will take effect on 15 January 2025.
The rule applies to all taxpayers listed on the ETA’s official website and is part of the sixth sub-phase in the second stage of the e-receipt system. This initiative follows the guidelines set by Resolution No. 455/2024.
The ETA’s goal is to create a centralized electronic system that tracks all commercial transactions.
