< Back to E-Invoicing Overview
Jordan has introduced mandatory e-invoicing as part of its efforts to modernize tax reporting and improve financial transparency. The government has implemented a phased approach, requiring large businesses to transition first, with smaller businesses expected to follow.
The country’s e-invoicing system integrates with the national tax authority, ensuring that all invoices are validated in real time. This initiative aims to reduce fraud, enhance compliance, and streamline the invoicing process for businesses.
