Jordan e-billing push

April 2025 Phase 2 mandatory JoFotara electronic billing

The Jordanian Department of Income and Sales Tax is mandating taxpayers to fully adopt e-invoicing via the JoFotara e-invoicing platform. Failure to do so will mean suppliers will not be entitled to deduct any input VAT paid.

The use of JoFotara is voluntary currently, and JoFotara adoption is Phase 1 of the move to compulsory, pre-cleared e-invoicing. The e-invoicing platform tallows taxpayers to issue invoices through it if they do not have an invoicing system, or to directly link with the tax portal via API if they have an invoicing system.

Plans to move to e-invoicing from paper-based regime

Paper-based invoicing was introduced into Jordan in 2019, requiring invoices to be produced in triplicate for the tax office. E-invoicing is permitted with agreement between the customer and the supplier. But there are no rules on the IT or procedures controlling creation, issuance, access and storage.
