About Jordan E-Invoicing
Jordan's Income and Sales Tax Department operates the JoFotara national e-invoicing platform, which it is rolling out in phases to VAT-registered businesses. Invoices are cleared by ISTD before issuance and are linked to the national tax administration's audit and VAT-deduction controls. The framework follows a clearance model with XML-based invoices submitted through the JoFotara portal or via certified service providers.
