The e-invoice: what it is and how to issue it from your accounting software
This page explains the e-invoice in plain terms and what a company needs in order to issue it. It also shows how Moon ERP sends the invoice to the tax gateway from the same program where you record your sales and accounts.
What is the e-invoice?
The e-invoice is a tax invoice that is issued, signed and sent electronically to the Egyptian Tax Authority's system. The system validates the invoice and gives it a unique identifier, and both the seller and the buyer can see it on the portal.
What does a company need to issue an e-invoice?
These are the main requirements in general terms. We advise confirming the requirements currently in force with the Egyptian Tax Authority or your accountant.
Electronic signature or seal
An approved electronic signing method used to sign invoices before they are sent.
Item coding
Mapping your items and services to the standard coding required on the invoice.
A system able to send
An invoicing or accounting program that can send the invoice to the system.
Creating an e-invoice on the portal or from your accounting software?
An e-invoice can be issued by typing its details manually on the portal, which means entering the invoice once on the portal and once in your accounts. The other way is to send the invoice straight from your accounting software, so it is entered only once: it is recorded in sales and accounts and then the same invoice is sent to the portal.
