Jordan e-invoicing

With no establishment and no Jordanian tax registration, JoFotara does not reach you – imports are documented on the buyer's side. Revisit if you set up locally or register with the ISTD.

JoFotara duties attach to ISTD-registered taxpayers issuing Jordanian invoices – published guidance shows no separate e-invoicing regime for non-residents without establishment. A local registration with Jordanian-source activity is different: it carries the same platform duties as any resident's. Confirm your registration status with the ISTD before relying on an exemption.

Small businesses, professionals and regulated service providers are in scope – the only size exemptions the ISTD publishes are for small licensed retailers (annual sales under JOD 75,000), licensed crafts (under JOD 30,000) and bread-only bakeries (under JOD 150,000). The ISTD keeps onboarding SMEs through 2026. If you are not yet issuing through JoFotara, register and integrate now: the fine waiver for early registrants ended 31 May 2025, and business customers cannot deduct VAT on an invoice issued outside the platform.

Since 1 April 2025 every invoice – B2B, B2C and B2G – goes through JoFotara for validation and comes back with a QR code. An invoice outside the platform is invalid for VAT deduction and accounting, and non-compliance bars you from public contracts and tenders. Fines run up to JOD 500 per violation – but the deduction and tender consequences are the real teeth.
