Send invoices to the tax authority

For a company registered for e-invoicing, every invoice Slflo issues is owed to the Egyptian Tax Authority. Two buttons on Money › Invoices send them. Who: office, administrator · Where in the cycle: after Sell.

Before you start

• Invoice orders (ORDER_INVOICE) shows Submit pending, Batch day and Download batch on Money › Invoices.
• Your company’s tax registration is set up by Slflo; there is no screen for it. Invoices issued before it was set read Not required.
• Only invoices in EGP can be filed.

The tax states

Tax authority	Meaning
Not required	Your company wasn’t registered when the invoice was issued
Waiting to file	Owed to the authority, not yet accepted
With the authority	Received by the authority, not yet ruled on
Accepted	The authority accepted it; its number shows on the invoice page
Rejected by the authority	Refused — hover the badge for the reason

Steps

Online

1. Open Money › Invoices and filter Tax authority to Waiting to file.
2. Press Submit pending. Every waiting invoice — and every rejected one, sent again — is queued, up to 500 a press. The notice says “N queued for the tax authority”.
3. Come back later: each moves to With the authority, then Accepted or Rejected by the authority.

USB token

1. Open Money › Invoices.
2. Set Batch day (today by default).
3. Press Download batch. A file eta-batch- followed by the date is saved, and the notice says “N documents in the batch”.
4. Sign and file the file with your USB-token signing tool.

Example

Suppose Nile Fresh is registered. After the day, Waiting to file lists INV-000001 and INV-000002. Submit pending says “2 queued for the tax authority”.

A company that signs with a USB token instead sets Batch day to 2026-10-07 and presses Download batch: eta-batch-2026-10-07.json, “2 documents in the batch”.

What happens next

• The invoices themselves don’t change — only their tax state. No money or stock moves.
• An accepted invoice shows the authority’s number above its paper.

Caution

Each day’s batch can be downloaded once. A second download of the same day holds 0 documents, because the first one already handed them over. Keep the first file.
