JoFotara e-invoicing for Jordan, handled by POSMena
POSMena is integrated with JoFotara, the national e-invoicing system operated by Jordan's Income and Sales Tax Department (ISTD). We issue Arabic-first tax invoices in JOD, submit them to JoFotara, and return the QR code and UUID required for compliance.
What JoFotara requires in Jordan
JoFotara is the national e-invoicing platform operated by the Income and Sales Tax Department (ISTD), which sits under the Ministry of Finance. ISTD has expanded mandatory adoption in phases by sector and taxpayer size. A compliant tax invoice is one that has been registered through JoFotara and carries the QR code and UUID returned by the platform after acceptance.
- Regulator: ISTD (Income and Sales Tax Department).
- Platform: JoFotara, the national e-invoicing system for issuing and reporting tax invoices.
- Scope: taxpayers issuing invoices in Jordan; covers B2B and B2G, with B2C issuance also reportable through the platform.
- Compliant invoice format: Arabic fields, JOD currency, QR code, and UUID returned by JoFotara on acceptance.
- Phase dates and in-scope thresholds change — always re-verify the current rollout on the ISTD portal before relying on a deadline.
How POSMena handles JoFotara e-invoicing
POSMena generates JoFotara-compliant tax invoices, submits them to the JoFotara API, retrieves the UUID and QR code, and archives the accepted invoice for the retention period required by Jordanian tax law. Arabic-first issuance in JOD is the default for Jordan tenants.
1.Create the invoice
POSMena builds the tax invoice in the JoFotara-required structure with Arabic fields and JOD amounts, drawn from the POS, e-commerce checkout, or accounting entry.
2.Submit to JoFotara
The invoice is transmitted to the JoFotara API operated by ISTD. POSMena handles authentication, payload formatting, and retry on transient failures.
3.Retrieve UUID and QR code
Once JoFotara accepts the submission, POSMena stores the returned UUID and embeds the QR code on the printed or PDF invoice delivered to the buyer.
4.Archive and reconcile
Accepted invoices are archived in POSMena alongside the JoFotara response, ready for ISTD audit and downstream reconciliation with the accounting ledger.
5.Handle errors and resubmissions
Rejected submissions are surfaced with the JoFotara error code, queued for correction, and resubmitted without breaking the sales flow.

أسئلة شائعة
What is JoFotara?
JoFotara is the national e-invoicing system operated by Jordan's Income and Sales Tax Department (ISTD). Taxpayers issue tax invoices through JoFotara, and the platform returns a UUID and QR code that make the invoice compliant under Jordanian tax law.
Who must register on JoFotara?
ISTD has rolled out mandatory JoFotara adoption in phases by sector and taxpayer size, covering taxpayers issuing invoices in Jordan across B2B, B2G, and reportable B2C transactions. Because phase dates and in-scope thresholds change, the current scope should be confirmed on the ISTD portal before relying on a specific deadline.
Is POSMena compatible with JoFotara?
Yes. POSMena is integrated with JoFotara and generates JoFotara-compliant tax invoices with the QR code and UUID returned by the platform. POSMena supports Arabic-first issuance in JOD and is ready for ISTD's phased rollout of mandatory e-invoicing in Jordan.
How does JoFotara issue the QR code on an invoice?
After the invoice is submitted to the JoFotara API, the platform validates the payload and, on acceptance, returns a UUID and a QR code. POSMena retrieves both and embeds the QR code on the printed or PDF invoice delivered to the buyer, alongside the UUID for traceability.
What currency and language are required on a Jordan electronic invoice?
Jordan tax invoices submitted through JoFotara must use Arabic fields and JOD as the currency. POSMena defaults to Arabic-first issuance in JOD for Jordan tenants and supports bilingual presentation where the buyer also needs an English-language copy.
