E-service launched to calculate impact of income tax on citizens

AMMAN — The Income and Sales Tax Department has launched an electronic service enabling citizens to calculate the income tax they will incur according to the amendments to the income tax draft law, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.

The service gives each citizen the opportunity to calculate the tax they will incur monthly or annually by inserting their total annual income or that of the household’s breadwinner.

The e-service aims at clarifying the financial impact the amended draft law will have on every citizen in the public and private sector, according to the department, which stressed that the link is “indicative” and “illustrative”.

The Income and Sales Tax Department said they welcome any inquiry about the draft law, which can be directed to http://www.istd.gov.jo/Arabic/news/TaxCalculate.aspx.
