We build TaxBridge — our own platform connecting accounting and ERP systems to the Egyptian Tax Authority.
In most Egyptian businesses the invoice is issued in one system, then re-entered or uploaded into the ETA portal, rejections are found days later, and a parallel set of records builds up because the two systems were never connected. The fix is making submission a step inside your normal invoicing.
What we connect
The invoice is created once, submitted automatically, and its status is visible where the invoice lives.
- Zoho Books — full ETA submission, status tracking and correction flows
- ERPNext and Frappe — the same, from within the ERP your operations already run on
- Other accounting systems — TaxBridge sits between your system and the ETA rather than replacing what works
- Credit notes, cancellations and returns — planned from the start
- Rejection handling as a defined workflow with an owner, not an occasional exception
Maintained as a product, not a one-off script
A script written during implementation, tied to credentials one person holds, breaks the next time the ETA adjusts a schema or a signature requirement — and invoices wait until someone is paid to fix it.
TaxBridge is a product with a maintenance owner and an update path. When the ETA changes a technical requirement, that is our problem rather than a new quotation.
Data first, then the connection
Most rejections trace back to customer tax registrations and item classifications that worked internally but that the ETA does not accept.
We clean master data before connecting anything, then run a limited period with close monitoring of acceptance before extending to full volume.
What to ask any provider
Ask these of any option, ours included.
- When a submission is rejected — who is notified, where does it appear, how is it corrected and resubmitted?
- Who holds the signing credentials, and what happens operationally if that person leaves?
- Can finance see submission status without going through IT?
Frequently asked questions
Do we need to replace our accounting system to comply?
Usually not. Where a system supports Egyptian e-invoicing natively, configuration is enough. Where it does not, TaxBridge connects it to the ETA without replacing your system of record.
How long does an e-invoicing implementation take?
The technical connection is rarely the long part — a few weeks for a company with reasonably clean master data. Where customer and item data need substantial correction first, that preparation usually takes longer than the integration and should be planned as its own phase.
Requirements keep changing — how do you keep up?
Because TaxBridge serves multiple clients, a change to an ETA technical requirement is handled once and deployed to all of them.
If somebody is re-keying invoices into the ETA portal after raising them, that step is removable without replacing the system that raised them. Tell us how many invoices you issue a month and what raises them.
