Local invoicing requirements in Egypt
- Freelancers earning above the annual registration threshold should register with the Egyptian Tax Authority (ETA) and obtain a tax card.
- Income earned from foreign clients (in USD or any other currency) generally still needs to be declared on your annual Egyptian tax return.
- Registered businesses are increasingly required to issue e-invoices through the ETA portal — check the current threshold and rules for your activity.
- Keep copies of every invoice alongside your bank, Payoneer, or PayPal statements for at least five years as supporting records.
This is general information, not tax advice. Rules change and vary by individual circumstances — confirm your obligations with a local accountant or the Tax Authority.
Payment tips for getting paid from abroad
- State the currency clearly (USD or EGP) on every invoice so the client knows exactly what they owe before converting.
- Wise and Payoneer are popular with Egyptian freelancers for receiving USD, usually with lower fees than a direct bank wire.
- If you invoice in EGP, note the exchange rate used on the invoice date — the pound can move significantly between invoicing and payment.
- Add your IBAN/SWIFT details for bank transfers, plus a Payoneer or Wise tag as a backup in case your client prefers it.
