Whatโs different about choosing software in Jordan
Invoicing is the first thing to check. The invoicing regulation of the Income and Sales Tax Department (ISTD), as amended in 2023, recognises electronic invoices issued through the national JoFotara system or through software linked to it, and Jordanian press reported that use of the system became mandatory from the start of April 2025. ISTD publishes no list of approved software, so treat any approval claim as the vendor's own and confirm the integration scope before you buy. Among the software listed here, Mozon sells a contracting module (budgets, subcontractors and progress invoicing), Daftra lists a Real Estate & Construction industry profile with project management, and Odoo covers projects alongside accounting; the rest are e-invoicing, accounting or general ERP tools and services. Beyond invoicing: 16% general sales tax under Law No. 6 of 1994, with reduced, zero and exempt rates for listed goods and services; registration and classification with the Jordan Construction Contractors Association, without which no ministry, municipality or company may sign a works contract with you; and Social Security contributions of 14.25% of insured wages from the employer and 7.5% from the employee, per PwC's tax summary.
Accounting / invoicing & construction software
E-invoicing services that link existing systems to JoFotara (InvoiceQ and Tax2Gov); accounting and invoicing apps that say they send invoices to JoFotara (Daftra, FawtraPlus, Fatwarti); ERP suites (Mozon, which sells a contracting module; Odoo, whose Jordan localization includes a JoFotara module; ESKADENIA); an Amman Odoo implementation partner (Stride); and global accounting tools for which the vendor names no JoFotara integration (Zoho Books, QuickBooks).

Its Jordan portal issues and receives e-invoices and connects existing systems (it names Microsoft Dynamics, Oracle, QuickBooks, SAP, Xero and JD Edwards) to the Income and Sales Tax Department's national e-invoicing system. It works as a compliance layer on top of an existing back office rather than replacing it.
Jordan-specific note
InvoiceQ says its platform is compatible with the latest updates from Jordan's Income and Sales Tax Department and offers a custom ISTD Integration plan for firms that want to keep their existing ERP or accounting system.

Odoo's partner directory lists it as a Ready partner in Jordan with 16 customer references, two of them in construction and renovation. It is a services firm, so Odoo subscription costs come on top of its fees.
Jordan-specific note
STRIDE is an Amman-based Odoo partner offering support in Arabic and English. Odoo's own Jordan localization includes a JoFotara e-invoicing module, but STRIDE's site does not describe JoFotara setup, so ask whether it will configure the e-invoicing link.

Zoho Books is cloud accounting from Zoho covering invoicing, bookkeeping, bank reconciliation and, from the Professional plan, timesheet billing and project profitability. Zoho lists no Jordan edition, so Jordanian firms would use the global version, which Zoho says to evaluate for local compliance before use. Zoho's site names no integration with Jordan's national e-invoicing system (JoFotara).
Jordan-specific note
Zoho has no Jordan edition and names no JoFotara integration. If you must issue e-invoices through Jordan's Income and Sales Tax Department system, confirm how you will do it (a separate integration service or ISTD's own tools) before choosing Zoho Books.

Jordan-specific note
Intuit names no Jordan e-invoicing feature in QuickBooks, so firms that must issue JoFotara invoices use a separate service; InvoiceQ lists QuickBooks among the systems it connects to the Income and Sales Tax Department. Check the connector's scope and price before relying on it.
Pros

It offers searchable Jordanian tenders from government departments, local authorities and public and private entities, with a Construction and Real Estate category, daily email alerts and, on higher plans, contract-award data. It is an alert and search layer, not the official bidding portal.
Jordan-specific note
JordanTenders emails daily Jordanian tender alerts, including construction and real estate. Public tender invitations are also posted on the official JONEPS portal, so weigh the $295-$495 yearly fee against checking JONEPS yourself; the extra value is alerts, search, private-sector tenders and, from Premium, contract awards.
Pros

Jordan-specific note
Menaitech has an Amman office and runs its Jordan site at menaitech.com/en/. The MenaPAY page describes 'pre-loaded country compliance profiles' but spells out only Saudi social insurance and wage protection, so ask in the demo how it handles Jordan SSC contributions and income tax.

Jordan-specific note
GTS is based in Amman and describes an Arabic HR and payroll system, but its payroll pages list generic features (trial runs, bank deposit, WPS) without naming Social Security Corporation contributions or Jordan income tax, so confirm both before relying on it for Jordan payroll.

Social Security Corporation (SSC)
Official body / regimeJordan's state social insurance fund for employers and workers
The Social Security Corporation runs Jordan's statutory social insurance scheme under the Social Security Law, funded by employer and employee contributions on insured wages. Its insurances include old-age, disability and death pensions and work-injury cover. An amended Social Security Law, centred on retirement rules, passed the House of Representatives in June 2026, according to Petra.
Jordan-specific note
Employers in Jordan pay social security contributions for their workers to the Social Security Corporation: 14.25% from the employer and 7.5% from the employee, according to PwC's tax summary. Payroll software sold in Jordan should calculate these contributions; ask the vendor to confirm how it handles SSC.
What it covers
- + Statutory social insurance for workers, funded jointly by employer and employee
- + Covers old-age, disability and death pensions and work injuries
- + Contributions are a fixed share of insured wages, so payroll costs are predictable
Watch out for
- โ The employer share of 14.25% of insured wages is a recurring cost on top of pay
- โ Retirement rules were being amended in 2026; check the current rules with the SSC
- โ Rates here come from PwC's tax summary; confirm current rates and registration steps with the SSC
