PaySpace (a Deel company)
Native-localized cloud payroll, Egypt included
⚠ Reputation warning
Arabic UI unconfirmed, and support is global (Deel) rather than a named local Egypt office.
Market position
An Africa/MENA-strong cloud payroll (Deel-owned) covering ~47 countries with true in-country legislative localization — for multi-country employers and mid-to-large businesses wanting native Egyptian payroll plus a multi-market path.
Egypt-specific note
Egypt is an explicitly localized country — it handles Employees' Tax, social insurance, Comprehensive Health Insurance and the Martyr Fund and tracks Social Insurance Law 148/2019 — strongest for a firm that also pays staff in other countries.
Pros
- + Explicit native Egypt localization (income tax, social insurance, health insurance, Martyr Fund)
- + Tracks Social Insurance Law 148/2019
- + Deel-backed roadmap; per-country legislative engine
- + Per-employee/month, no annual licence
Cons
- − Arabic UI unconfirmed
- − No local Egypt support presence
- − Pricing not public
- − Better for multi-country/larger employers than a single small contractor
Typical Egypt pricing
Quote-based (per employee/month; no annual licence per the vendor).
Why this matters for Egypt trades
The ETA runs tax (14% VAT, 22.5% corporate tax) and the mandatory e-invoicing/e-receipt clearance system (JSON/XML, UUID, digital signature — only cleared invoices are deductible, and non-compliance bars government work); EFCBC ("Tasheed") membership and classification (Law 104/1992) is required to take work above EGP 50,000 or bid public tenders; engineers must register with the Egyptian Engineers Syndicate; companies incorporate via GAFI (Commercial Register + Tax Card); employers must enrol every worker in social insurance (NOSI, Law 148/2019); and building in the new cities is permitted through NUCA.
Egyptian construction & trades software selection is shaped above all by the ETA (Egyptian Tax Authority) e-invoicing mandate — live and enforced (full B2B mandate from April 2023; paper invoices invalid for deduction since ~July 2023), a real-time clearance model where only cleared e-invoices allow VAT/cost deduction, and now reaching small businesses (the VAT-registration threshold was halved to EGP 250,000, with small firms required to register by 31 March 2026). Add a volatile, un-pegged Egyptian pound (which favours local EGP-priced vendors over USD-billed foreign SaaS), 14% VAT, mandatory EFCBC contractor classification, Engineers-Syndicate registration, and a megaproject pipeline led by the New Administrative Capital. B2B runs in Arabic and English.
