About the Jordan e-Invoicing Mandate

Jordan’s Income and Sales Tax Department (ISTD) has introduced a multi-phase e-invoicing mandate to promote transparency, fight tax evasion, and digitize VAT reporting. The system is centered around JoFotara, a national e-invoicing platform for real-time invoice validation and reporting.

Key components of the mandate:

  • Structured invoice generation in JSON or XML format
  • Real-time transmission to the JoFotara platform for clearance and acknowledgment
  • Integration with ERP/accounting systems via secure API connections
  • Mandatory digital signing and QR code on each invoice
  • Applicable to B2B, B2G, and B2C transactions

The ISTD’s e-invoicing roadmap began with selected large taxpayers in 2023 and is expanding rapidly in 2024–2025 across industries and business sizes.
