FIRS Accredits PwC as System Integrator for Mandatory E-Invoicing

The Federal Inland Revenue Service has accredited PwC Nigeria as a system integrator for the country’s mandatory e-invoicing system under the Monitoring, Billing, and Settlement platform. PwC announced the accreditation in a statement, highlighting its role in advancing digital tax administration, boosting transparency, and strengthening transaction-level tax reporting in Nigeria.

The e-invoicing mandate seeks to modernise Nigeria’s tax system, curb revenue losses, and match global standards. It integrates tax compliance into daily business activities, allowing real-time monitoring and better regulatory checks.

Organisations must send invoice data instantly to the FIRS platform, shifting from paper invoices to a digital validation process. This cuts manual mistakes, enhances oversight, and applies controls directly at transactions. Accredited integrators like PwC ensure safe connections between taxpayers’ systems and the FIRS setup.

Chijioke Uwaegbute, PwC Nigeria’s Partner and Tax & Regulatory Services Leader, explained that e-invoicing builds compliance into routine operations. As data goes real-time and digital, businesses need reliable information for reporting, audits, and reviews. The accreditation lets PwC blend expertise with technology to help clients comply confidently.

Tim Siloma, PwC Nigeria’s Partner and Tax Technology Leader, noted that while technology automates invoicing, tax knowledge is key for rules and risk management. Successful e-invoicing requires joint design of tax rules, data controls, and systems.

PwC stands ready to aid organisations in process reviews, integrations, and ongoing compliance as rules evolve. The move reflects worldwide shifts toward greater transparency in tax ecosystems.
