Tax Registration in Egypt
Registration of the new company with the Egyptian Tax Authority — the tax card issued through the GAFI one-stop shop, VAT registration, and onboarding to the mandatory ETA e-invoicing platform (invoicing.eta.gov.eg). VAT registration is mandatory once annual taxable turnover reaches EGP 500,000, and professional and consultancy services must register regardless of turnover; the standard VAT rate is 14%. E-invoicing is not optional: the ETA states that since 1 April 2023 no entity may import, export or deal with the customs system unless it issues and deals with electronic tax invoices, and consumer-facing sales are recorded on the e-receipt system via integrated POS. All registration and filing is in Arabic.

How it runs
You will see these exact stages update in your client portal as we progress.
Tax Card Issued
The company's tax card is issued and its ETA file opened.
VAT Registration
VAT registration filed where turnover reaches the mandatory threshold (EGP 500,000) or where the activity is a professional/consultancy service that must register regardless of turnover.
E-Invoicing Onboarded
The company is onboarded to the ETA e-invoicing platform (and the e-receipt system for B2C sales), a precondition for dealing with the customs system.
