Wny Discuss JoFotara Now?
Compliance with the National Invoicing System (JoFotara) is no longer optional for Jordanian businesses; it is a legal necessity to avoid financial penalties. Yet, many business owners still wonder: Is my current accounting system truly compliant with the Income and Sales Tax Department (ISTD) requirements?
In this guide, we clarify everything you need to know about tax integration and why Odoo (when implemented correctly) is the ideal solution for full compliance.
What is JoFotara?
It is an electronic system launched by the ISTD in Jordan to regulate commercial transactions. The system aims to replace traditional paper invoices with documented electronic invoices sent in real-time to tax servers.
Is My Comapnay Required To Integrate?
According to the latest regulations, all companies and establishments selling goods or services are required to issue electronic invoices, with very limited exceptions. The Risk of Non-Compliance: Failure to integrate or issuing non-compliant invoices exposes your facility to fines and legal accountability, in addition to disrupting your government transactions.
Why Do Some Systems Fail?
Not all accounting software is "ready" for practical application. Many merchants face technical issues such as:
Difficulty generating the specific encrypted QR Code required on invoices.
Failure to sync with the tax portal when the internet cuts out, leading to lost data.
Difficulty managing returns (Credit/Debit Notes) electronically in a way that matches the law.
Why You Need STRIDE's Expertise With Odoo?
While modern versions of Odoo support JoFotara integration, practical application within companies requires technical expertise to ensure business continuity. At STRIDE, we guarantee more than just "installing a module":
Handling Complex Cases: Do you have special discounts? Tax exemptions? Complex returns? We configure the system to pass these invoices through the tax portal without rejection.
Offline Stability: We ensure your Point of Sale (POS) continues to work and issue legal invoices even if the internet goes down, automatically syncing them once the connection returns.
Specialized Local Support: Our team understands the Jordanian market requirements, ensuring your technical peace of mind.
Compliance with JoFotara is not just a "legal duty"; it is an opportunity to organize your accounts and move towards full digital transformation.
