Jordan
A Jordanian LLC suits on-the-ground operations, service delivery, and project investment from Amman into the Middle East. Foreign investors can fully own businesses in most sectors, but restricted activities require a prior ownership-cap and licensing review.
Key points on one page.
- Tax
- CIT is generally 20%, plus 1% national contribution tax; specified sectors face higher rates.
- Shareholders and directors
- Usually 2 shareholders; a sole shareholder needs Controller approval. One manager is permitted; no nationality or residency rule.
- Share capital
- Minimum capital is JOD 1; stated in the constitutional documents and generally paid within 60 days after incorporation.
- Local requirements
- A Jordan business premises and vocational licence are required; foreign projects undergo security screening during registration.
- Annual maintenance
- Annual audit and audited accounts are required; CIT return and payment fall by the end of month 4 after year-end.
- Incorporation timeline
- Approx. 2–4 weeks, depending on foreign-investment screening, document legalisation, and licences.
- Public disclosure
- Partner-name company searches are public; UBO data is filed with CCD and updated annually, not a public register.
