FIRS Names 16 Certified Tech Firms For E-Invoicing Rollout
The Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) has unveiled 16 technology companies certified to assist taxpayers in onboarding onto its electronic invoicing (e-invoicing) platform ahead of the revised November 1, 2025 deadline.
The move is part of ongoing efforts to expand the adoption of the platform, which went live on August 1, 2025, and is central to enhancing tax compliance and real-time invoice verification.
According to the FIRS, the companies were vetted and certified by the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) after meeting stringent technical and operational requirements, including nationwide service coverage, robust security standards, operational neutrality, and cross-sector performance capacity.
The unveiling took place during a two-day workshop on the e-invoicing solution in Lagos, led by the Acting Director of Tax Automation, Mike Adoga.
Adoga disclosed that the certified firms include Pasca Technology Limited, Hoptool Technology Limited, Etranzact International Plc, Telepac Africa Nigeria Limited, Cryptware System Limited, Namiri Technology Nigeria Limited, Ace of Spedes Consult Nigeria Limited, Jureb Business Solutions Limited, Qucoon Limited, Courteville Business Solutions, Softrust Technologies Limited, Westmetro Limited, Arca Payments Company Limited, and Remita Payment Limited.
He stressed that taxpayers are free to choose any certified service provider and may switch if dissatisfied with service quality, urging businesses to promptly report any breaches or operational challenges to FIRS.
While assuring that more companies will be added to the list as they meet certification criteria, Adoga warned that any provider found to have compromised the set standards would be delisted without hesitation.
“There will be more coming, and the list will continuously be updated. If we find any service provider in breach of the conditions of service, they will be removed,” he said.
In his opening remarks, Chief of Staff to the FIRS Executive Chairman, Mr Tayo Koleosho, represented by the Director of Change Management, Emmanuel Eze, revealed that over 1,000 companies have already been onboarded—representing only 20 per cent of the target 5,000 businesses.
He noted that MTN, IHS, and Huawei are among the first to go live on the platform.
Koleosho explained that the FIRS recently extended the onboarding and transmission deadline by three months, moving it to November 1, 2025, to allow more companies to meet integration requirements.
He emphasised that the extension should not be seen as a reason for delay but rather as an opportunity to achieve smooth and voluntary compliance.
The e-invoicing initiative is part of FIRS’ broader tax automation drive, aimed at improving transparency, reducing compliance costs, and curbing revenue leakages across the economy.
