Jordan’s Income and Sales Tax Department, in a statement reported by Petra on 1 October, said 321 million invoices had been issued through the national e-invoicing system during 2026. The department reported 223 million invoices for 2025, a difference of 98 million, or about 44%. It did not specify the exact cutoff date for the 2026 count. The figure should therefore not be described as a total through 30 September or as a completed calendar-year result. It is a cumulative year-to-date count as presented in the department’s announcement at the time of publication.

The department said 177,668 taxpayers were registered in the system, representing more than 90% of the targeted group. A registered taxpayer is not necessarily an enterprise actively issuing invoices; the statement did not detail activity frequency, sector distribution or business size. It also said the platform covered 98.5% of the value of goods and services sales. That is an agency-reported coverage measure, not a claim that 98.5% of invoice counts are captured. High coverage by value can reflect the inclusion of large transactions, while saying little by itself about the number or distribution of smaller transactions.

The statement gave a series of registration figures: 17,045 in 2023, 105,251 in 2024, 154,138 in 2025 and 177,668 in 2026. These are registered taxpayer counts reported for each year. The release did not include a separate methods table clarifying whether each figure is a year-end stock or a count at a particular point within that year. The series is useful as an indication of the direction reported by the department, but precise annual growth rates should not be inferred until the reference dates and registration rules are confirmed as comparable. Nor does the rise in system registrations establish a causal effect on economic activity or tax receipts.

The national platform was described as supporting invoice verification through QR codes and integration with the Sanad digital identity application. Such infrastructure can make it easier for buyers to check a document, for firms to keep electronic records and for the administration to receive transaction data digitally. The announcement did not provide a comparative assessment of effects on business costs, informal activity, audit findings or revenue collection. More invoices generated by a system do not automatically mean more economic sales or stronger compliance; those conclusions require linked information on business activity and tax payments.

Invoice counts, registered taxpayers and sales-value coverage answer different questions. The 321 million documents describe transaction volume; the 177,668 accounts refer to registered taxpayers; and the 98.5% figure describes the reported share of sales value covered. Without an explicit cutoff for the 2026 count, comparing it with the full 2025 figure may not compare equal periods. Preserving those distinctions helps businesses and readers assess digital adoption without overstating its effects. Petra relayed the department’s statement, which did not include an independent nationwide audit or a methodological appendix for the time series.
