Understanding Egyptian Business Expense Governance
What is ETA Expense Deductibility (التكاليف واجبة الخصم)?
Under Articles 22 and 23 of Law No. 91 of 2005, business costs are tax-deductible only if they are directly connected to commercial activity, necessary for generating taxable revenue, and supported by formal accounting documentation.
What is the E-Invoicing & E-Receipt Rule?
Under ETA regulations, B2B business expenses must be supported by valid electronic invoices registered on the ETA E-Invoicing portal (منظومة الفاتورة الإلكترونية), while B2C payments must be supported by certified E-Receipts to qualify for tax deductions.
What is 14% Input VAT Deductibility?
Under VAT Law No. 67 of 2016, registered Egyptian enterprises can deduct 14% input tax paid on taxable business purchases against output VAT collected, provided the invoices are fully validated electronically on the ETA portal.
Egyptian Operational Expense Calculation Flow
The tracker continuously analyzes monthly cash disbursements against approved budget limits using standard Egyptian corporate accounting principles.
Total Spend = Sum of all categorized expense items
Aggregate operating cash outflows across the budget period.
Remaining Budget = Budget Limit - Total Recorded Spend
Burn Rate (%) = (Total Spend ÷ Budget Limit) × 100
Category Allocation (%) = (Category Spend ÷ Total Spend) × 100
Proportional expenditure breakdown for cost optimization.
Claimable Input Tax = Qualifying Spend × [Tax / (100 + Tax)]
Net Deductible OPEX = Total Spend - Claimable Input Tax
