E-invoicing Policy for Egypt

E-invoicing Policy for Egypt

With the latest e-invoicing regulations introduced by the Egyptian Tax Authority (ETA), all applicable taxpayers are required to link their accounting systems to the ETA’s e-invoicing portal and generate e-invoices. It’s crucial to evaluate your tax obligations under these guidelines and ensure compliance.

As a seller, it’s your responsibility to generate tax invoices and credit notes directly from your accounting systems in line with ETA regulations. To assist with this process, Noon provides customers with an order purchase summary that outlines the products they purchased at an all-inclusive price.

How to Provide Customers with Tax Invoices and Credit Notes?

Customers can request tax invoices or credit notes from Noon. Here’s what happens:

  1. Notification: Once a customer requests an invoice or credit note, Noon will notify you.
  2. Response Time: You have three (3) business days (excluding Fridays and public holidays) to provide the requested documents.
  3. Consequences of Non-Compliance: If you fail to provide the invoice, Noon may charge you the item price if the customer requests a refund.

Pro Tip: It’s strongly recommended to issue tax invoices and credit notes immediately for every sale and return. This ensures the documents are readily available for quick sharing with customers when needed.

Where to Access Purchase Summaries?

A purchase summary is a document showing the products purchased by a customer from you at an all-inclusive price. It is not a tax invoice and does not include a VAT breakdown.

Steps to Access Purchase Summaries:

  1. Go to the Navigation Bar and click on Payment and Fees.
  2. Select Statements and Invoices.
  3. Choose either Invoices or Credit Notes and click the ellipsis (...) to download the desired statement.
