< Back to E-Invoicing Overview
Egypt has implemented mandatory e-invoicing for VAT-registered businesses as part of its tax reform strategy. The system is designed to automate tax reporting, improve compliance, and enhance transparency.
Businesses are required to generate and validate invoices electronically before issuing them to customers. The system ensures that all transactions are recorded in real time for tax compliance.
