AMMAN — The Director General of the
Income and Sales Tax Department (ISTD), Hussam Abu Ali, urged company directors and
establishment owners to ensure that financial managers and accountants fully
remit the deducted amounts from employees'
salaries and wages for the year 2023
to the ISTD. He emphasized the importance of accurately remitting and
electronically entering these deductions for each employee according to their
monthly salary certificates, affirming the need for
monthly remittances throughout 2024.

Abu Ali highlighted that delays in remitting
deductions not only incur legal penalties on tardy companies but also hinder
the disbursement of refunds to eligible workers, as deducted taxes must undergo
auditing before refunds can be processed, Al-Ghad reported.
Furthermore, he stated that taxpayers subject
to tax return filing for 2023 must electronically submit their
income tax returns and pay declared amounts promptly, stressing the importance of
accurately filling out returns to reflect their actual income from business
activities.
He clarified that taxpayers exceeding the
specified exemption limits, JD9,000 for singles and JD18,000 for married
individuals, for any income source, including salaries and wages, must submit
an income tax return annually.
Abu Ali also noted that income tax deductions
from monthly salaries and wages by employers do not exempt individuals
surpassing exemption limits from filing annual income tax returns.
Additionally, retirees with monthly retirement salaries over JD2,500 are
encouraged to submit income tax returns for 2023.
