Egypt Tax Registration Number Checker
Check that an Egyptian tax registration number (رقم التسجيل الضريبي) has the correct 9-digit format.
What is an Egyptian tax registration number?
The tax registration number (رقم التسجيل الضريبي) is the 9-digit number the Egyptian Tax Authority (ETA) gives every registered taxpayer. One number covers all taxes, so it is also the VAT number and the issuer ID on ETA e-invoices. It is printed on the tax card — for example 100492657 (also written 100-492-657) for Nestlé Egypt.
Egyptian tax registration number format
Nine digits, written with or without hyphens.
1–3
4–6
7–9
Example: 100-492-657 (Nestlé Egypt). The Egyptian Tax Authority’s list of first-phase e-invoicing companies prints it as ١٠٠٤٩٢٦٥٧.
- Input: With or without hyphens; Arabic-Indic digits (١٠٠٤٩٢٦٥٧) are converted.
- No published check digit: The Tax Authority publishes no check-digit rule for the number.
- Individuals: An individual’s number is personal data, so this page uses a company example only.
- Format check only: This checker confirms the 9-digit format. It does not query the Egyptian Tax Authority, so it cannot confirm that the number is registered.
How to check an Egyptian tax registration number
- 1 Find the tax registration number on the supplier’s tax card or e-invoice.
- 2 Enter it above, with or without hyphens. The checker confirms the 9-digit format.
- 3 If the number is longer than 9 digits, it is probably a different ID, such as an individual’s national ID (الرقم القومي), which e-invoices use for resident individual buyers.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many digits is an Egyptian tax registration number? (الرقم الضريبي كام رقم؟)
Nine digits, written with or without hyphens (for example 100-492-657). The Egyptian Tax Authority’s technical specification defines it as nine numeric characters.
Is the VAT number the same as the tax registration number in Egypt?
Yes. The Unified Tax Procedures Law gives each taxpayer one registration number for all taxes. Businesses registered for VAT also receive a VAT registration certificate.
What is the difference between the tax card and the commercial register?
The commercial register records the business and is kept by the commercial registry, not the tax authority. The tax card, issued by the Egyptian Tax Authority, carries the tax registration number. The Authority lists the commercial register, where one exists, among the documents needed to issue it.
Which ID goes on an Egyptian e-invoice?
The issuer’s tax registration number, and for the buyer: its tax registration number if it is a business, the national ID if it is a resident individual, or the foreign company’s VAT ID if it is a foreign buyer.
What is the UIN and do I need it?
A 39-character code an Egyptian taxpayer generates on the Egyptian Tax Authority portal, valid for one year. The taxpayer gives it to foreign digital platforms so they can confirm its tax registration number through the Authority’s system.
Can a temporary tax card be used for e-invoicing?
No. Law 150/2026 introduced a temporary tax card valid for 8 months, but it cannot be used to issue e-invoices or e-receipts.
