FIRS Extends Deadline for Transition to E-Invoicing by 3 Months

The Federal Inland Revenue Service has extended by three months the deadline for firms to onboard and transit to the National E-Invoicing Solution.

Chief of Staff to FIRS’ Executive Chairman, Tayo Koleosho, disclosed this in Lagos at a 2-Day E-Invoice Post Go-Live workshop.

Koleosho who was represented by Director, Change Management at FIRS, Emmanuel Eze, said the agency has made significant progress since the E-Invoicing Solution for Large Taxpayers officially went live on 1st August, 2025.

He added that the extension is not intended as an opportunity for delay, but rather as a crucial chance for all stakeholders to complete integration, test transmissions, and resolve any system readiness issues well ahead of enforcement.

“The E-Invoicing Solution for Large Taxpayers officially went live on 1st August 2025, marking a significant milestone in modernising tax administration in Nigeria. Since its launch, FIRS has reported that over 1,000 Large Taxpayers have been successfully onboarded, representing approximately 20% of their target group.

“Notable pioneering organisations such as MTN Nigeria, Huawei Nigeria, and IHS Nigeria have already commenced live invoice transmissions.”
