Product development for Egypt
Great products are rarely built in one big launch. They start as a sharp idea, get tested quickly with real users, and grow from there. Shyphan builds digital products that way for founders and companies in Egypt, taking you from a rough concept to something people genuinely use, without burning months of runway on features nobody asked for.
The timing is right, because Egypt's large market and booming tech and outsourcing scene and Egyptian founders and teams in Cairo, Alexandria, Giza and New Administrative Capital are moving fast to get new products to market. We help you do that sensibly. First we validate the idea and agree what the first version really needs, then we ship a focused MVP so you can learn from actual usage, and only then do we build out the full product. Pricing is fixed and clear, quoted in USD or EGP, with a roadmap you see before we start.
You work with one senior team that covers product, design and engineering together, so the people shaping what to build are the same people building it. We deliver across web, mobile and SaaS, and we stay with you after launch to see what is working, add the next features and help the product scale as it grows.

- End-to-end product development in Egypt by Shyphan, discovery, UX, MVP and full-scale build for web, mobile and SaaS for businesses in Cairo, Alexandria, Giza and New Administrative Capital.
- Best suited to
- Businesses in India, the Gulf and the UK that have outgrown spreadsheets and disconnected tools and want one system rather than several that need reconciling.

What Egypt compliance means in practice
Egypt moved further and faster on e-invoicing than most of the region. Invoices and receipts are transmitted to the Egyptian Tax Authority rather than merely kept, and an invoice the ETA has not accepted is not a deductible cost for your customer - which makes the integration a commercial issue, not just a tax one.
| Obligation | What the rule is | What has to be configured |
|---|---|---|
| Value added tax | The standard rate is 14 per cent, with a schedule of table-tax rates on specific goods and services and a zero rate on exports. Returns are monthly, due by the end of the following month. | Tax codes per rate and per schedule item, and a return that comes out of the ledger rather than being assembled from it. |
| ETA e-invoicing | B2B electronic invoices must be signed and submitted to the Egyptian Tax Authority portal, and the e-receipt system covers B2C. Your customers cannot claim a cost you have not filed. | Direct integration with the ETA portal, unit and item codes mapped to GS1 or EGS, and submission failures surfaced as an exception queue rather than a silent gap. |
| Corporate income tax | 22.5 per cent on taxable profits, with quarterly advance payments where they apply and an annual return. | A chart of accounts that separates deductible from non-deductible spend at entry, because reclassifying a year of it is the expensive way. |
| Withholding tax | Withholding applies to a range of local payments at rates that vary by payment type, remitted and reported quarterly. | Withholding rules held against the supplier and the expense type, applied at payment. |
| Payroll tax and social insurance | Salary tax is withheld under a progressive scale and remitted monthly. Social insurance contributions go to the National Organization for Social Insurance on insured salary, which is not the same as gross pay. | A separate insured-salary basis maintained alongside gross, so the two calculations do not fight each other. |
| Currency and reporting | The pound has moved sharply, and many contracts are quoted in dollars while the books are kept in pounds. | Multi-currency with revaluation at period end, and a reporting currency for the parent where there is one. |

We configure the system to produce what these returns ask for, and we test it against your own transactions before go-live. We are not tax agents: your accountant or tax adviser signs the return, and rates and thresholds change, so treat this as the shape of the work rather than advice. Last reviewed 15 September 2026.
