Zoho Payroll Partner in Egypt | Wanas Apps
Egyptian Payroll Built on Zoho People
Running payroll in Egypt means navigating progressive income-tax brackets, monthly social-insurance contributions under Law 148 of 2019, and the compliance expectations of the Egyptian Tax Authority (ETA). Zoho Payroll does not offer a native Egypt edition — so Wanas Apps built one.
Wanas Payroll (payroll.wanasapps.com) is Wanas Apps' own Egyptian payroll SaaS, constructed on the Zoho People platform. It handles income-tax withholding, social-insurance calculations, EGP payslips, bank transfer files and automatic journal entries into Zoho Books — giving Egyptian businesses a single, connected HR and finance stack.

Why Egyptian Businesses Need a Purpose-Built Payroll Solution
Income Tax and Social Insurance (Law 148/2019)
Egyptian payroll is governed by two overlapping frameworks. The Labour Law sets the rules for employment contracts, leave and termination, while Social Insurance Law No. 148 of 2019 defines contribution bases and rates for both employer and employee. On top of that, the Egyptian Income Tax Law requires employers to withhold tax at progressive brackets every month and remit it to the ETA on behalf of each employee.
Wanas Payroll calculates all three layers simultaneously — progressive income-tax brackets in EGP, the correct social-insurance base under Law 148/2019, and net pay — so your finance team never has to reconcile three separate spreadsheets at month-end.
ETA E-Invoice and E-Receipt Integration
Egypt's ETA e-invoice and e-receipt regime requires registered businesses to issue B2B e-invoices and B2C e-receipts through the ETA platform. Wanas Apps runs a certified Zoho Books to ETA e-invoice integration with one-click submission and real-time validation. When payroll journals post automatically from Wanas Payroll into Zoho Books, your salary costs are already sitting in the same ledger that feeds your ETA-compliant invoicing — no double entry, no manual uploads.
Who Uses Wanas Payroll in Egypt?
Wanas Apps works with a wide range of Egyptian organisations registered with the Commercial Registry and the General Authority for Investment (GAFI):
- Cairo law firms managing partner drawings, associate salaries and variable bonuses under Egyptian Labour Law
- Egyptian importers and traders with mixed EGP and foreign-currency cost structures who need clean payroll journals in Zoho Books
- Egyptian dental and medical laboratories running shift-based staff, where accurate social-insurance contributions are critical for employee retention and regulatory audits
- Egyptian training academies with part-time instructors and full-time admin staff on different contract types
Each of these sectors faces the same core challenge: payroll must be accurate in EGP, compliant with Law 148/2019, and visible inside the broader accounting picture. Wanas Payroll delivers all three.
Cairo Office, Egypt-Wide Delivery
Wanas Apps has an office in Cairo and the team delivers implementations on-site and remotely across Egypt. Whether you are in Greater Cairo, Alexandria, or a regional city, you get the same certified Zoho expertise and the same locally compliant payroll engine.
The Wanas Payroll + Zoho People + Zoho Books Stack
Wanas Payroll sits inside the Zoho ecosystem rather than alongside it. Employee records live in Zoho People, payroll runs in Wanas Payroll, and journals post automatically to Zoho Books — the same Zoho Books that connects to the ETA e-invoice platform. The result is a closed loop: hire an employee in Zoho People, run payroll in Wanas Payroll, see the cost in Zoho Books, and issue compliant ETA invoices to your clients, all without leaving the Zoho environment.
