What is E-Invoicing in Nigeria?

Electronic invoicing (e-invoicing) is the digital exchange of invoice information between suppliers and buyers. In Nigeria, the NRS (former FIRS) mandates that all B2B and B2G transactions use validated e-invoices.

The Old Way - Risky
  • Manual invoice creation prone to errors
  • NRS rejections and compliance issues
  • Penalty fees up to ₦500,000 per violation
  • Blocked VAT claims and cash flow delays
The New Way - Seamless
  • Automated digital invoicing with validation
  • Real-time NRS approval and IRN generation
  • 100% penalty-free with automatic compliance
  • Instant VAT claims and improved cash flow
