Jordan Advances with Phase 2 of E-Invoicing Implementation

Jordan is moving forward with the next stage of its electronic invoicing system, JoFotara. The Ministry of Finance and the Income and Sales Tax Department have announced that Phase 2 will take effect on April 1, 2025. This phase will require all businesses to issue tax-compliant electronic invoices, marking a significant step toward a fully digitized tax system.
Key Requirements for Phase 2
Under the new regulations, businesses must:
- Issue invoices via the National Electronic Invoicing System or an integrated platform.
- Ensure invoices meet tax compliance standards, as non-compliant invoices will be invalid for tax purposes.
- Include a QR code on invoices, which will be used for verification before payments are processed.
While e-invoicing has been mandatory for B2G transactions since May 2024, the government encourages wider adoption among private companies to improve financial transparency and efficiency.
Challenges and Digital Transformation
Jordan has mandated invoicing for goods since 2019, but the lack of a unified system has made tax reporting complex. The government aims to address these issues with JoFotara by:
- Reducing tax fraud and improving compliance.
- Cutting paper-related costs through digitalization.
- Ensuring accessibility via online and mobile platforms.
- Streamlining implementation for businesses of all sizes.
The government is expected to release additional technical specifications and an implementation timeline later this year. With JoFotara, Jordan is taking a major step toward modernizing its tax infrastructure and aligning with global e-invoicing standards.
