general sales tax rates in Jordan

16%standard

Jordan’s equivalent of VAT is called the general sales tax.

Worked example

At 16%, a price of JOD 100.000 before general sales tax becomes JOD 116.000, of which JOD 16.000 is general sales tax.

The other way round, JOD 100.000 including general sales tax is JOD 86.210 before it — divide by 1.16 rather than taking 16% off, which is the usual mistake.
