Which format does Egypt use for e-invoicing?

ETA e-invoice (JSON or XML) with an electronic signature. Documents go to Egyptian Tax Authority, through the national e-invoicing portal.

Does Oltrano control the invoice number in Egypt?

Yes. Numbering is gap-free and sequential, resets on your schedule and never reuses a number.

Is Egypt a clearance country?

Yes. The document is authorised by Egyptian Tax Authority, through the national e-invoicing portal before it is legally valid.

What is the Peppol EAS code for Egypt?

Egypt has no code in the official Peppol EAS list, so we do not guess one.

The part that costs a day

The catch nobody writes down

Every line has to carry a code from a recognised list — GS1 or the authority's own EGS codes — so the catalogue has to be mapped before the first invoice, not after. The document is also signed with a hardware token issued to the company, which means issuing cannot be fully delegated to a cloud system that does not hold that token.

Your numbering stays yours

We issue gap-free, sequential numbers that reset on your schedule and are never reused — including for voided documents, which keep theirs. The authority takes the document as numbered.

Tax is computed from the base

Never extracted from the gross. The two formulas differ by a cent and the wrong one gets the file rejected. The leftover cent is declared as payment rounding (BT-114), where the standard puts it.

Straight talk

What we do not do in Egypt.

We do not hold your signing certificate, we do not file your periodic returns, and we are not your accountant.

Issuing here goes through a certified provider, with your own credentials. We build the document, validate it, send it and record what comes back.
