In Jordan, not paying taxes (in the end) leads to the loss of money/money income to the Treasury that could have been collected to add/give to the reduction of the money-related shortage. Jordan's (process of people making, selling, and buying things) is suffering from (not having enough workers, money, time, etc.) and a long-lasting money-related shortage, which makes the process of providing the necessary money/giving money (to) to meet the needed things of money-based and social development process very hard (Hoopes et al., 2015). In this digital age in which the Internet is spreading hugely, the idea of electronic (the buying and selling of goods) was spread which allows plenty of advantages especially for trade and business industry, where it became possible to avoid possible to avoid the suffering/difficult situation of traveling to meet businessmen and customers, it was possible to reduce the time and money to market their products (that are bought and sold) in markets, and it is also good for the customers that they don't have to travel in order to get what they want, it is enough to have a computer software, Internet browser and internet subscription (Yapara et al., 2015). E- (the buying and selling of goods) does not strict on sales and (instance of buying something for money) of products (that are bought and sold) and services via the Internet, but it also includes processing sales, (instance of buying something for money) and send payments online, it also covering buying and selling information operations along with the products (that are bought and sold) and services, E-(the buying and selling of goods) does not stop at this point, since the expectations offered by E-(the buying and selling of goods) in front of companies and people do not stop at an end (Malkawi, 2018). Does E-(the buying and selling of goods) subject to taxes and fees? What are the taxes and customs challenges on E-commerce transactions? This and other questions we will try to answer through this study, as a tax guess (of a number) for operations and transactions represents a new challenge facing business accounting and taxes (Kurihara, 2016).
