            Some financiers face the problem of errors made in paper tax records, especially after sending them and are exposed to legal accountability as a result of this, so this problem is addressed by giving financiers the opportunity to review the invoice data before issuing them through the electronic invoice application<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

            Strengthening the tax positions of companies participating in the electronic invoice system<\/h5>

            The electronic invoice system works to strengthen the companies enrolled in it by placing them in the (low tax risks) list and facilitating the settlement procedures between those institutions or companies through the instantaneous exchange of invoice data in digital format, which is provided by the system as a result of linking and integration with the accounting systems of financiers.<\/p>

            \u00a0<\/p>

            Facilitating the procedures of settlements between companies regarding VAT<\/h5>

            The settlement procedures are practical accounting procedures that are carried out at the end of the financial period in order to identify the real values of all the company's assets, liabilities, expenses and revenues, in order to reach the fixed result of companies, whether profit or loss, the system facilitates those procedures, but only for VAT<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

            Updating the method of exchanging invoices between companies<\/h5>

            Before the application of the electronic invoice, companies exchanged invoices in a traditional and paper form, which led to errors and damages to invoices at that stage, so one of the goals of the system was to update the method of that exchange.<\/p>

            \u00a0<\/p>

            Reducing the administrative burden<\/h5>

            The electronic invoice system seeks to reduce the administrative burden by reducing the tasks of management, especially with regard to taxes, it has made sending and supporting invoices, whether selling or buying, and all utility bills through electronic services.<\/p>

            \u00a0<\/p>

            Reduce transaction cost<\/h5>

            Organizations always seek to reduce transaction costs, and these transactions are represented in many forms such as management and maintenance, but do not depend directly on the quantity of manufactured products and also accounting and management documents were not taken into account, so Egyptian taxes through the electronic invoice system have sought to reduce transaction costs, especially with regard to accounting and taxes.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

            Phasing out paper archiving of invoices<\/h5>

            It is one of the most important features of the electronic billing system, where invoices are archived on paper in the traditional system, but the system seeks to reduce and then dispense with archiving invoices electronically, which leads to reducing the destruction of invoices and the possibility of returning them at any time.<\/p>

            \u00a0<\/p>

            Simplification of corporate inspection procedures with the possibility of remote inspection<\/h5>

            Within the traditional system gives you the examination procedure is carried out in 3 main steps, namely:<\/p>

            1. Notifying the financier with a book-recommended-accompanied by the arrival flag.<\/li>
            2. The financier is obliged to provide data and photos of documents, including lists of customers and suppliers, which the authority requests from him in writing.<\/li>
            3. The bailiff performs a comprehensive examination of photos and documents and completes the examination.<\/li><\/ol>

              The system has provided these procedures and also provided the possibility of remote inspection to save time and effort.<\/p>

              The system managed to simplify the steps of tax refund by simplifying and facilitating the processes of preparing and submitting paper returns.<\/p>

              \u00a0<\/p>

              End the traditional procedures with companies to meet invoices<\/h5>

              In summary, the Egyptian Tax Authority has worked through the electronic invoice system to facilitate and reduce the procedures for invoices submitted to the Egyptian tax authority and work to end the traditional procedures for collecting invoices for companies.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
