AlexBank's Intesa Sanpaolo-influenced statement uses channel codes that make business expense separation easy. Convert the PDF to Excel and your accountant can map straight to the ETA return.
Convert your AlexBank statementEgypt's tax authority (ETA) applies a 22.5% flat corporate income tax, 14% VAT, and a progressive 0–27.5% personal income tax. Corporate filings include quarterly advance payments; personal returns are annual. Bank statements are the primary income evidence in both cases — and Egypt's 2022–2024 EGP devaluations make accurate FX-tagged data more important than ever.
Bank of Alexandria — founded 1957, majority-owned by Intesa Sanpaolo since 2006 — issues a cleanly formatted bilingual PDF. The Italian-influenced layout puts transaction type codes (ATM, POS, BRN, ONL, INT) in their own column, which makes splitting business expenses from personal spending faster than at most Egyptian banks.
Salary credits and SWIFT inbound transfers show as credits with the sender or employer reference. The transaction type code identifies the channel: ATM is cash withdrawal, POS is card purchase, BRN is branch counter, ONL is online banking, INT is internal transfer. For sole traders and SMEs, POS and BRN often represent business expenses while ATM is personal. Post-2022 FX entries can produce very large EGP amounts that disrupt PDF column alignment — Kashfbank preserves these without breaking the row.
The ETA return needs total income, business expenses (where deductible), and any VAT or income tax already paid via withholding.
Bilingual Arabic-English PDF with internationally influenced clean tabular layout. Columns: date, description, transaction type code, debit (EGP), credit (EGP), balance (EGP). Transaction type codes identify channel: ATM, POS, BRN (branch), ONL (online), INT (internal). IBAN displayed in account header. Intesa Sanpaolo group compliance formatting means higher consistency across statement periods than many Egyptian peers.

| SWIFT | International wire transfer |
Egyptian corporate tax at 22.5% requires quarterly advance payments; converted statements showing quarterly income help CPAs calculate accurate installment amounts to avoid penalties.
Pull statement from AlexBank Mobile
AlexBank Mobile and AlexBank Online both export PDFs for any custom period. For the annual ETA return, January to December. The Italian-influenced layout is consistent across periods, which makes year-over-year comparison reliable.
Convert with Kashfbank
Upload the PDF. Kashfbank preserves the channel code column (ATM, POS, BRN, ONL, INT) as its own field in the Excel, plus the standard Date, Description, Debit, Credit, Balance columns.
Filter by channel code for expense separation
In Excel, filter by channel code. POS and BRN debits typically represent business spending for sole traders. ATM and ONL debits skew personal. Tag each row accordingly for the ETA filing.
Hand off to your accountant
Most Egyptian businesses use a registered accountant for ETA returns. Share the Excel and the original PDF. Retain both for at least five years per Egyptian tax record-keeping requirements.
Common challenges
Does AlexBank show the EGP equivalent for USD transactions?
For most SWIFT inbound and card transactions in foreign currency, AlexBank prints both the original currency amount and the EGP-converted amount. Kashfbank preserves both. For tax purposes you may need to apply the CBE rate for the specific value date, which your accountant calculates.
How does the export handle Egypt's 14% VAT?
VAT is collected at the merchant level — it shows in the merchant's books, not as a separate line on a personal AlexBank statement. For VAT-registered businesses, VAT remittances to the ETA appear as debits and are tagged as Tax category in the export.
Are post-2022 large EGP amounts handled correctly?
Yes. Kashfbank handles wide balance swings from EGP devaluations without breaking column alignment. The running balance reconciles end-to-end even when individual rows show very large figures from FX-linked entries.
Do AlexBank statements show the Egyptian IBAN format?
Yes. The Egyptian IBAN is 29 characters starting with EG. AlexBank prints it in the account header. The Excel export preserves the IBAN in the metadata for reference; standard tools sometimes fail on the unusually long string, but Kashfbank does not.
