Odoo electronic invoicing in Egypt¶
Odoo Invoicing is your trusted partner for safe, efficient, and legally compliant e-invoicing solutions tailored to meet Egypt’s regulatory standards and compatible with the requirements set forth by the Egyptian Tax Authority.
Legal framework for e-invoicing in Egypt¶
In Egypt, businesses must comply with electronic invoicing regulations established by the Egyptian Tax Authority (ETA) as part of the country’s tax digitalization initiative. The system requires taxpayers within the mandated phases to electronically issue and submit invoices, credit notes, and debit notes through the ETA platform, using the prescribed JSON structure and validation requirements. Documents submitted to the ETA are validated and assigned a unique UUID to ensure traceability and compliance. Depending on the taxpayer category and transaction type, businesses are required to use digital signatures and standardized product coding systems such as EGS or GS1 codes. The scope of mandatory adoption continues to expand as Egypt advances its tax compliance and digital transformation objectives.
