Egypt note
Wafeq has an Egypt site with Arabic and EGP pricing, but none of its Egypt pages, its sitemap or its developer e-invoicing guide mention the Egyptian Tax Authority; its documented e-invoicing is for Saudi ZATCA. An Egyptian business that must issue ETA e-invoices should confirm ETA support with Wafeq before buying.
