A POS system for shops in Aqaba

Aqaba sits inside the Aqaba Special Economic Zone, which has its own tax rules overseen by the Aqaba Special Economic Zone Authority, sales tax among them. So the tax rate on some of what you sell in Aqaba can differ from the rate a shop like yours pays in Amman or Irbid. This page does not quote a rate: take the one that applies to your shop and your goods from its official source, the Authority's site aseza.jo, the Income and Sales Tax Department at istd.gov.jo, or your accountant.

What Ghalleh does is apply the rate you choose. When you turn on JoFotara you pick your tax file type: registered for sales tax, or income tax only. If you are registered, you choose the default rate for your items from the rates JoFotara accepts, and say whether your prices include tax. An item with a different rate gets its own rate in its item details, so each line of the invoice is taxed at its own rate.

From then on every invoice goes to JoFotara automatically and its QR code prints on the receipt. The connection steps in Ghalleh are the same in every governorate: your tax number and registered name, your income source sequence, and the Client ID and Secret Key from the JoFotara portal, portal.jofotara.gov.jo.

If the shop's internet drops, selling and printing carry on, unsent invoices wait in the app and go out when the connection returns, and you can see the status of each one: sent, waiting, or not accepted.

If you run your Aqaba shop from another city, every new sale reaches your phone, along with the cash difference when each shift closes and a weekly report that compares your sales with the week before.
