FIRS names 16 tech firms for e-invoicing onboarding

The Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) has named 16 technology companies to support the rollout of its National e-Invoicing Solution, aimed at streamlining tax compliance and replacing paper-based invoicing.

The firms, certified by the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) as system integrators and access point providers, will assist taxpayers with onboarding, system integration, and real-time invoice transmission.

Unveiled at a two-day workshop in Lagos, the list includes Pasca Technology Limited, Hoptool Technology Limited, Etranzact International Plc, Telepac Africa Nigeria Limited, Cryptware System Limited, Namiri Technology Nigeria Limited, Ace of Spades Consult Nigeria Limited, Jureb Business Solutions Limited, Qucoon Limited, Courteville Business Solutions, and Softrust Technologies Limited. Others are Westmetro Limited, Arca Payments Company Limited, Elara Technical Services Ltd, Interswitch Limited, and Remita Payment Limited.

Acting Director of Tax Automation, Mike Adoga, said taxpayers are free to switch between providers if dissatisfied, urging them to promptly report breaches to FIRS. “The list will be continuously updated, and any provider found in breach of service conditions will be removed,” he added.

The e-Invoicing platform—built on a Merchant-Buyer Model—digitally records all transaction details including supplier and buyer data, product descriptions, quantities, prices, taxes, and total amounts. It enables near-instant validation and secure storage of invoices, credit notes, and debit notes.

FIRS Chief of Staff, Tayo Koleosho, represented by Director of Change Management, Emmanuel Eze, disclosed that more than 1,000 companies—20% of the target—have onboarded since the platform went live on August 1, 2025. MTN, IHS, and Huawei are the first companies to fully integrate.

To encourage voluntary compliance, FIRS has extended the onboarding and transmission deadline by three months to November 1, 2025. “This is not an opportunity to delay,” Koleosho cautioned. “Our target is to bring over 5,000 companies onto the platform.”
