Cobuild electronic invoicing in Jordan¶
Cobuild Invoicing is your trusted partner for safe, efficient, and legally compliant e-invoicing solutions tailored to meet Jordan’s regulatory standards and compatible with the requirements set forth by the Income and Sales Tax Department.
Legal framework for e-invoicing in Jordan¶
In Jordan, businesses must comply with electronic invoicing regulations established by the Income and Sales Tax Department (ISTD) through the Jordanian National Electronic Invoicing System, commonly referred to as JoFotara. The system requires businesses within the mandated scope to issue and submit electronic invoices and related debit and credit notes through the JoFotara platform in accordance with the government’s technical and legal requirements. Businesses must generate invoices in the required UBL 2.1 format and submit them for real-time validation through the JoFotara platform. Upon successful validation, invoices receive a QR code used for verification and compliance purposes. Depending on the taxpayer type and applicable tax regime, invoices may require percentage-based taxes, fixed taxes, or both. The framework aims to improve tax compliance, transparency, and digitalization across Jordan’s tax system.
