Can I issue an ETA e-invoice from AccountsOS?
No. AccountsOS does not issue ETA e-invoices or e-receipts. A PDF invoice from AccountsOS is not an Egyptian tax invoice.

Detailed Explanation
## The rule
E-invoicing through the ETA system has been mandatory for all taxpayers since 15 December 2022. E-receipts for consumer sales are mandatory in phases. Since 1 July 2022 VAT on a paper invoice is not deductible except in the cases the regulations allow.
## What AccountsOS does
AccountsOS keeps the books. You issue the legal invoice through the ETA portal or an ETA-integrated provider, then Finn records it and matches the payment in your bank statement.
## Why it matters
Using both systems is also a condition of the simplified regime.
