The Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) has approved eTranzact International Plc as a certified provider for its nationwide e-invoicing rollout, expanding a collaboration that began with VAT automation under Tax Administration 2.0.
A statement on Thursday by Adeyemi Opene, Head Corporate Communications, FIRS, said that the approval strengthens eTranzact’s position as a trusted partner in government-led digitisation of tax and business processes.
“The FIRS e-invoicing platform, the Merchant Buyer Solution (MBS), introduces structured digital invoices across business-to-business, business-to-consumer and business-to-government transactions.
“By design, it simplifies tax processes, enhances compliance and improves transparency in Africa’s largest economy,’’ Opene stated.
Mike Adoga, Acting Director of Tax Automation at FIRS, said that the certified providers met rigorous requirements, including nationwide service capacity, proven security, neutrality and scalability.
He added that the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA), provided technical input.
Tayo Koleoso, Chief of Staff to the Executive Chairman of FIRS, explained that the providers were carefully selected based on their ability to deliver at scale.
“NITDA’s role was critical in tightening data protection and cybersecurity on the platform, giving taxpayers confidence that their information is safe and the process is transparent,” he said.
On his part, Niyi Toluwalope, Managing Director/CEO of eTranzact International PIc, described e-invoicing as a platform for innovation in business-government interaction.
