ETA UUID

Egypt's clearance receipt for a validated e-invoice.

Definition

Suppliers submit each invoice as digitally signed JSON to the ETA portal/API. The ETA runs instant validations (TIN, GS1/EGS product codes, totals), then assigns a UUID plus a hash that "clears" the document. The supplier separately computes a submission UUID; the ETA UUID is the authoritative one used to query, share or cancel the cleared invoice.

Origin

Defined by the Egyptian Tax Authority (ETA, مصلحة الضرائب المصرية) in the official e-Invoicing / e-Receipt technical documentation published on the ETA Digital Tax Platform (sdk.invoicing.eta.gov.eg).

Example in context

After a valid POST /documentsubmissions, the ETA response carries acceptedDocuments[].uuid, e.g. "A1B2C3...", which the seller embeds in the invoice QR code for buyer verification.
