Plain-language explanation
What is it?
A system run by the Income and Sales Tax Department for issuing invoices electronically and registering them with the department, to organise the market and reduce evasion — it does not introduce new taxes.
Who must register?
Income and sales taxpayers carrying on a commercial or professional activity as specified by the department. Proof of registration can be issued from the department's website.
How to use it
- Issue invoices directly from the JoFotara portal.
- Or connect your accounting or point-of-sale system to the national system.
Tips
- Register early to avoid penalties.
- Make sure your accounting software is approved and can integrate.
- Keep copies of invoices and check that they appear on the portal.
