The Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) has said that it is working to address key challenges such as infrastructure demands, stakeholder awareness, and cross-border integration ahead of the official launch of its national electronic invoicing (e-invoicing) platform in July 2025.
This was made known during a sector-specific stakeholder engagement with players in the oil and gas industry held in Lagos on Monday, as part of FIRS’ phased rollout of the e-invoicing initiative.
The effort is aimed at transforming Nigeria’s tax administration landscape through digitisation. Speaking at the event, Acting Director of Tax Automation at FIRS, Mike Adoga, explained that the e-invoicing system will ensure real-time visibility of transactions across sectors, thereby improving tax compliance.
“This e-Invoicing is about the real-time electronic exchange of invoices between businesses and customers and FIRS is powering this with its own technology. The implications and benefits are already known to FIRS.”
