Jordan is taking a significant step forward in tax compliance and transparency with the launch of Phase Two of its national e-invoicing system. Starting April 1, 2025, businesses and individuals must ensure that their invoices are issued through the National E-Invoicing System, or a system electronically linked to it.
What Does This Mean for Businesses and Consumers?
The new regulation—Amendment No. 2 of 2025—is designed to strengthen tax documentation for local purchases of goods and services. Under this update, only invoices that comply with the system will be recognized for tax deduction purposes. This ensures greater accountability, reduces tax evasion, and enhances financial transparency in the country.
Dr. Husam Abu Ali, Director General of the Income and Sales Tax Department, emphasized that businesses and individuals required to issue invoices must now adapt to the digital system. This shift is part of Jordan’s broader effort to modernize tax regulations and promote a fairer economic environment.
Why Is This Important?
E-invoicing is becoming a global standard, and Jordan’s initiative aligns with international best practices in digital taxation. The system offers multiple benefits, including:
✔ Simplified record-keeping – Reducing paperwork and making tax filings easier.
✔ Stronger tax compliance – Ensuring accurate reporting and minimizing tax fraud.
✔ Business efficiency – Streamlining financial transactions with automated invoicing.
What’s Next?
With the April 2025 deadline approaching, businesses and individuals should prepare by:
Ensuring their invoicing systems are linked to the National E-Invoicing System.
Training staff on digital invoicing requirements.
Consulting with tax professionals to ensure compliance.
The move towards full digitalization of tax records signals Jordan’s commitment to modernizing its economy and fostering trust between businesses, consumers, and the government. While adjustments may take time, the long-term benefits of efficiency and transparency will outweigh the initial transition efforts.
For businesses and individuals, the key takeaway is clear: embrace digital invoicing now to ensure a smooth transition and stay tax-compliant in 2025.
