Simplify E-Invoicing in Jordan with Bytize
Bytize is an accredited e-invoicing provider in Jordan and is live on JoFotara today. Send invoices from SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, Salesforce or your POS, and Bytize submits them to JoFotara and returns the QR code for every invoice.
Mandatory since 1 April 2025: every invoice must be issued through JoFotara and carry its QR code, or your buyer can't use it for input tax deduction.
What is E-Invoicing in Jordan?
E-Invoicing in Jordan runs through JoFotara, the National Electronic Invoicing System operated by the Income and Sales Tax Department (ISTD) with the Ministry of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship. Businesses registered for sales tax must issue their invoices through JoFotara, either on its web portal or from their own ERP or POS connected by API.
JoFotara validates each invoice in real time and returns a QR code that must appear on the invoice your buyer receives. Since 1 April 2025, under the Amended Billing and Control Regulation No. 2 of 2025, invoices that don't go through JoFotara can't be used for input tax deduction or claimed as expenses.
What an e-invoice in Jordan must follow
- Format: Structured XML based on UBL 2.1, following ISTD's JoFotara specification
- Validation: Each invoice is submitted to JoFotara by API and validated in real time
- QR code: JoFotara returns a QR code that must appear on the buyer's copy of the invoice
- Buyer details: Buyer identification can be left out on invoices below JOD 10,000
