Nigeria's mandatory e-invoicing regime, effective since 31 July 2026, applies to businesses earning ₦5 billion or more annually.

Nigeria's e-invoicing mandate through the Electronic Fiscal System (EFS) transforms financial operations beyond tax compliance. Structured invoice data enables real-time financial visibility, embedded controls, and improved counterparty data quality for Nigerian businesses and finance leaders.
Nigeria's e-invoicing mandate for large taxpayers is now actively enforced, requiring cryptographic validation and unique Invoice Reference Numbers (IRNs) from the Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS) platform.
