ETA e-receipts are electronic receipts submitted to the Egyptian Tax Authority. A compliant POS issues them automatically on payment, submits them, and records an immutable end-of-day Z-report. Refunds are handled as credit notes against the original order. Here's how it fits together.
The Egyptian Tax Authority (ETA) requires businesses to issue electronic receipts and invoices that are submitted to its system. For a restaurant, that means each paid order produces a compliant electronic receipt rather than only a paper slip.
Under e-invoicing, a refund isn't a simple reversal — it issues a credit-note receipt against the original order, which is submitted like any receipt and audit-logged. This keeps the tax record consistent.
Because compliance happens at the moment of payment, it has to be part of the POS, not a separate task. WDPW includes ETA-ready e-receipts and Z-reports in-plan, registered per branch and terminal, so compliance is automatic rather than a month-end scramble.
Egypt's e-invoicing and e-receipt rules apply broadly to registered businesses. Confirm your specific obligations with a tax advisor or the ETA; a compliant POS like WDPW issues ETA-ready receipts automatically.
A Z-report is the immutable end-of-day sales snapshot for a branch, required for tax inspection, including cash-variance reconciliation.
A refund issues a credit-note receipt against the original order, submitted like any receipt and audit-logged, so the tax record stays consistent.
