Displaying 16% GST on Jordanian Restaurant Menus

How to properly display Jordan's 16% General Sales Tax on restaurant menus. Rules, common mistakes, and compliance.

## Jordan's GST Jordan applies a 16% General Sales Tax (GST) on restaurant food and beverages. Unlike some Gulf states, Jordan has traditionally allowed restaurants to display prices exclusive of tax, with the GST added at the bill. However, best practices and increasing consumer protection enforcement favor inclusive pricing. ## Display Options - **Inclusive pricing** (recommended): Menu prices include 16% GST, with a note stating "Prices include 16% GST" - **Exclusive pricing**: Prices shown before tax, with a clear "Plus 16% GST" notice ## Qaima's Approach Qaima supports both inclusive and exclusive pricing for Jordan, with clear GST disclaimers in both Arabic and English.
