Understanding Egyptian Commercial Quotations and Statutory Terminology

Quotation vs. Proforma vs. ETA E-Invoice

A **Quotation** is a preliminary offer outlining scope and pricing. A **Proforma Invoice** is requested by corporate accounting or banks for import clearance (ACI system) or advance payment. An **ETA E-Invoice** is the legally required electronic tax document transmitted to the ETA portal upon supply.

Withholding Tax (Deduction at Source)

Under Egypt's Income Tax Law No. 91 of 2005, corporate clients deduct tax at source (typically 1% on supply contracts, 3% on services, and 5% on professional fees) before remitting the net payment to the vendor.

Quotation Expiry & Import Pegging

Due to foreign exchange adjustments and import regulations in Egypt, quotations for imported machinery or raw materials typically carry a strict 15-day validity clause, reserving the right to revise prices if acceptance occurs after expiry.

Egyptian Commercial Quotation Calculation Hierarchy

Commercial price proposals in Egypt follow a standardized mathematical model to compute gross deliverables, tax liabilities, and required commitment deposits:

// 1. Gross Bill of Quantities Subtotal

Gross Subtotal = Sum(Quantity * Unit Price in EGP)

// 2. Commercial Discount Deduction

Net Taxable Amount = Gross Subtotal - Commercial Discount

// 3. ETA Statutory VAT (14%)

ETA VAT Amount = Net Taxable Amount * 0.14 (for registered entities)

// 4. Total Quoted Contract Price

Total Quoted Price = Net Taxable Amount + ETA VAT Amount

// 5. Mobilisation Advance Required (e.g. 60%)

Commitment Deposit = Total Quoted Price * 0.60

ETA VAT Exemption Note: Small enterprises with annual turnover below EGP 500,000 are not subject to mandatory VAT registration and must set the VAT Rate to 0% on their quotations unless voluntarily registered.

Worked Example: Commercial Solar & Backup Power Installation Quote in Cairo

A commercial engineering contractor in New Cairo prepares a formal quotation for an enterprise backup solar energy system:

Itemized Scope & Bill of Quantities:

15kW 3-Phase Industrial Solar Inverter: EGP 145,000.00
2x 20kWh Lithium Battery Storage Units: EGP 280,000.00
24x 575W Monocrystalline PV Panels: EGP 115,000.00
Switchgear, Installation, Testing & Cabling: EGP 60,000.00

Financial & Tax Breakdown:

Gross Subtotal: EGP 600,000.00
Trade Discount (5%): - EGP 30,000.00
Net Taxable Base: EGP 570,000.00
ETA VAT (14%): EGP 79,800.00
Total Quoted Contract Value: EGP 649,800.00
60% Mobilisation Advance Required: EGP 389,880.00
