purchasing goods or receiving services from merchants who are obliged under the
law to issue them.

Tax department
Director General Hussam Abu Ali told Al-Mamlaka TV on Tuesday that the
application will enable anyone who buys a commodity or pays any allowance in
exchange for a service to request an invoice.
He indicated that
once the application is downloaded and invoices are submitted, the users may
enter a raffle for prizes that will be presented every three months.
Abu Ali pointed
out that invoices are of two types: those issued to companies and
establishments, and needed for deduction as an acceptable expense, and those
issued to individual consumers.
“What we want is
to create the habit of asking for an invoice upon every purchase or service
received, which is part of an integrated reform system,” Abu Ali said.
Smartphone users
can download the application “Fawateery” from
Google Play store or
Apple’s AppStore. The user must register by entering their national number and date of
birth.
Users can then
upload invoices related to goods or services by photographing them using the
phone camera, provided that the value of the invoice is no less than JD1.
Prizes offered
include cars, cash, assets, and devices such as mobile phones, electrical and
electronic devices, the value of the submitted invoice or a percentage of its
value, or a subscription to services for a specific period, all of which will
be announced on the department’s website.
The
department also made it possible for users to report any case of non-compliance through
the option available to them on the application.
The department
clarified that the sellers of goods whose sales exceed JD75,000 annually, and
all service providers, professionals and craftsmen whose revenues exceed
JD30,000 annually, must commit to issuing invoices according to the billing
regulation system.
Entities that are not
obligated to issue an invoice are those whose annual sales are less than
JD75,000; they include groceries, bookstores selling books and stationery,
stores selling vegetables and fruits, stores selling household appliances,
bakeries, popular restaurants, household businesses, and dairy stores among
others.
