Tax Card & Taxpayer Data Certificate Translation

When dealing with banks, embassies, or international authorities, companies and individuals often need to present a Tax Card or a Taxpayer Data Certificate translated into English.
Although the Egyptian Tax Authority issues both documents, they serve different legal and financial purposes.

In this article, we explain the difference between the two, why each requires a certified translation, and how Galenus Certified Translation ensures accuracy and official acceptance worldwide.

What Is a Tax Card?

A Tax Card is an official document proving that a business or professional activity is registered with the Egyptian Tax Authority.
It includes:

• Taxpayer’s name and Tax ID number.
• Business type and address.
• Date of registration.
• Tax office details.

Used for:

• Company formation and bank account opening.
• Embassy and visa documentation.
• Business licensing and registration abroad.

What Is a Taxpayer Data Certificate?

A Taxpayer Data Certificate is a more detailed financial document that reflects the taxpayer’s current tax status.
It shows:

• File number and type of tax (Income, VAT, etc.).
• Tax filing history (submitted or pending).
• Outstanding balances or dues.
• Registration date and activity status.

Used for:

• International tenders and public procurement.
• Audits and financial verifications.
• Legal and compliance documentation.

Key Differences

While the Tax Card requires a legally structured translation for company identification,
