The platform, he said, offers security
and information protection that is on par with what is applied in international
systems.
These statements came during a symposium
organized by the Amman Chamber of Commerce (ACC) on Thursday, reported the
Jordan News Agency, Petra.
Hanandeh said that the new system is
"simple and user-friendly", emphasizing that it went through all the
necessary technical tests to ensure it's "suitable for use without any
obstacles".
Director-general of the Income and Sales
Tax Department, Hossam Abu Ali, said that small merchants and craftspeople are
not required to use the invoicing system.
He added that ad hoc teams would be
formed to help onboard all beneficiary sectors included in the new system.
Sectors included will also be given
sufficient time to address any challenges with the new e-billing system, he
said.
Meanwhile, ACC head, Khalil Haj Tawfiq,
said that while some system-related reservations have been voiced by Jordanian
commerce chambers' leaders, sector representatives, and trade union chiefs, the
platform requires patience in its implementation and giving beneficiaries a
trial period.
To ensure its proper implementation, he
stressed the need to raise awareness about the system's work mechanism by
issuing explanatory leaflets and videos and holding dialogues with stakeholders
to avoid any mishaps or negative outcomes in the future.
