Tax Inspection Campaigns Confirm The Mandatory Compliance with The National E-Invoicing System
In a clear step underscoring the importance of implementing the National E-Invoicing System (JoFotara) in Jordan, the Income and Sales Tax Department (ISTD) has conducted field inspection campaigns targeting sectors obligated to register in the National E-Invoicing System. The purpose of these inspections is to verify compliance with electronic tax invoice requirements.
These campaigns aim to ensure that companies and establishments are issuing electronic tax invoices properly, monitor any violations or delays in implementation, and gather feedback from compliant businesses to enhance the E-invoicing experience in Jordan.
Official Notices Issued To Non-Compliant Businesses
During these field inspections, the ISTD issued official notices to 379 businesses for failing to comply with the provisions of the National E-invoicing System and for not issuing invoices in the required format. These businesses were granted a legal grace period of only one week to rectify their status before legal actions would be taken against violators.
This regulatory escalation confirms that the awareness phase has gradually shifted into a full mandatory enforcement stage. Non-compliance is no longer an option for any entity obligated to adopt E-invoicing.
The National E-invoicing System Has Become Widely Adopted
The Income and Sales Tax Department stated that approximately 158,000 companies, establishments, individuals, and professionals are now registered in the National E-Invoicing System. Additionally, around 1.2 million electronic invoices are issued daily through the system.
These figures clearly indicate the increasing adoption of E-invoicing within the Jordanian market. E-invoicing is no longer a limited or experimental initiative; it has become an essential component of Jordan’s tax compliance framework.
Why is The ISTD Intensifying Inspection Campaigns?
The intensified inspection campaigns aim to achieve several key objectives:
- Ensuring the issuance of accurate and compliant electronic tax invoices
- Preventing tax evasion and enhancing transparency
- Improving the quality of implementation of the National E-Invoicing System
- Protecting compliant businesses from unfair competition
- Urging delayed businesses to connect immediately before penalties apply
Therefore, these campaigns are not solely supervisory; they represent a regulatory step to safeguard the national economy.
Connecting To The National E-Invoicing System is No Longer Optional
Under this strict regulatory environment, connecting to an approved E-invoicing system has become an immediate necessity for all obligated businesses.
Failure to comply may result in:
- Official notices
- Fines and legal procedures
- Suspension of government transactions
- Loss of trust from customers and partners
For this reason, companies must accelerate the issuance of invoices through a tax-compliant system that ensures proper invoice generation and direct integration with The National E-invoicing platform (Jofotara).
Verification via Sanad App and QR Code
One of the important developments announced by the Tax Department is the integration of the National E-Invoicing System with the government’s Sanad application.
This integration enables:
- Companies to verify that suppliers are issuing compliant electronic tax invoices
- Individuals to confirm the authenticity of invoices by scanning the QR code
- Enhanced trust and prevention of invoice manipulation
This reflects a more integrated and transparent system that benefits both businesses and consumers.
How To Ensure Full Compliance with the National E-invoicing System
To avoid violations and ensure compliance, the following is recommended:
- Official registration in the National E-invoicing System
- Adoption of a compliant E-invoicing system aligned with Tax Department regulations (such as InvoiceQ’s E-invoicing system)
- Issuing electronic tax invoices regularly for all sales transactions
- Training employees on the new procedures to prevent violations
- Ensuring the system provides archiving, reporting, and invoice analytics
Proper integration guarantees compliance and protects your business from future legal risks.
