Rule · CBJ · 22 Sep 2013
The Central Bank of Jordan instructs commercial banks to transfer movable funds held or owed to taxpayers to the Income and Sales Tax Department to satisfy tax debts specified in seizure decisions. Banks must also mark taxpayers with no available balances as seized until full payment is received. This directive enforces compliance with seizure decisions issued by the tax department against non-compliant taxpayers.
