We connect your billing system to Nigeria’s e‑invoicing platform, so every invoice clears.
When it applies to you.
The mandate arrives in three bands set by annual turnover. Pick yours and the dates below become yours.
January 2027
Counting
- None
- 1 July 2026
- ₦1 billion to ₦5 billion
Live since July 2026, with enforcement following in January 2027. This is the window to get integration right without penalties running while you fix it.
The work, in the order it happens.
Most businesses need all four. If you arrive with registration done or an integration half built, we pick up from where you are.
What each one involvesPlatform registration and onboarding
We establish which taxpayer band you fall into, register and profile the business on the Merchant Buyer Solution, and reconcile your tax identifiers and company data before a single document is submitted.
ERP and accounting integration
Invoice data mapped out of SAP, Odoo, Sage, QuickBooks, Zoho, a custom billing system or a spreadsheet, into the national schema and onto the network.
Compliance engineering
Structured UBL and BIS Billing 3.0 documents, XAdES and PAdES signing, and capture and retention of the IRN, CSID and QR code the platform returns against every cleared invoice.
Test runs, cutover and aftercare
Before anything goes live, your invoices go through the platform's test environment until they clear.
What people ask us first.

Does this actually apply to my business?
If you issue invoices in Nigeria, yes, on a schedule set by your annual turnover. Large taxpayers are already enforced. Medium taxpayers went live in July 2026 with enforcement from January 2027. Businesses under ₦1 billion go live on 1 July 2027. Pick your band on the timeline above and the dates change to yours.
Do we have to replace our accounting system?
No, and we would argue against it. We map invoice data out of what you already run, whether that is SAP, Odoo, Sage, QuickBooks, Zoho, a bespoke billing system or spreadsheets. Replacing a working billing system to satisfy a tax mandate is how a compliance project turns into an eighteen-month migration.
Will this break our invoicing while you work on it?
Nothing goes live until your invoices clear in the platform's test environment. Whatever the validator rejects gets triaged and fixed, and only then do we cut over. Your billing keeps running on the system you have now the whole time.
Are you accredited by NITDA or the NRS?
Not yet, and we will not imply otherwise. We are an integration and compliance engineering firm. When an accreditation code is granted it will be published here with the code. Any provider claiming accreditation should be able to give you a code you can check.
What happens if an invoice is rejected by the platform?
Rejections come back with a reason. We queue them, surface the reason in terms your finance team can act on, and retry. The failure mode we design against is a rejection nobody notices until month end.
How do you handle our invoice data?
Encrypted in transit and at rest, processed under the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023, and yours to take with you. Your mappings, logs and clearance identifiers export in full if you leave.
