Read this to learn how to manage your UIN requirements as a supplier in Egypt.
VAT Registered Business or Individual
I’m a registered business or individual and I am VAT registered. What if I don't have a UIN yet, will this affect my payments?
- If you do not provide the UIN (or if you don’t have a valid Egyptian VAT number on the portal), we will apply a 14% VAT to your future commissions.
- Payments will not be blocked, but it is crucial to start the application process immediately.
- Inform us of your expected timeline for obtaining the UIN.
What if I have problems obtaining the UIN?
- Contact your accountant or the Egyptian Tax Authority (ETA) for assistance.
What happens when I provide GetYourGuide with my UIN?
- We will update our records with your UIN.
- All future payments will use the correct UIN, and no VAT will be applied to the commission we charge you.
Non-VAT Registered Business or Individual
I’m a registered business or individual and I am not VAT registered. What if I don't have a UIN yet, will this affect my payments?
- As you are not VAT registered, a 14% VAT will be applied to the commission we charge you.
- You do not need to apply for a UIN, as this is only required for VAT registered businesses or individuals.
