The Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) of Nigeria has accredited PwC Nigeria as a system integrator for the mandatory e-invoicing system. The platform operates under the Monitoring, Billing, and Settlement (MBS) framework.
Okay News reports that PwC announced the accreditation in a statement. It supports FIRS efforts to digitise tax administration, enhance transparency, and improve transaction reporting integrity.
Partner and Tax & Regulatory Services Leader at PwC Nigeria Chijioke Uwaegbute described e-invoicing as embedding compliance into daily business operations.
“E-invoicing embeds tax compliance directly into everyday business activity. As transaction data moves into real-time digital systems, organisations must be able to rely on that data for tax reporting, audit, and regulatory review,” Uwaegbute stated.
“This accreditation reinforces PwC’s role in helping organisations build trust, comply, and report with confidence,” he added.
Uwaegbute noted global trends toward real-time oversight. PwC combines tax expertise with technology for effective implementation.
Partner and Tax Technology Leader Tim Siloma emphasised integrated approaches. Technology alone cannot manage compliance risks.
“Technology can automate invoicing. However, interpreting tax requirements and managing risk require tax expertise. e-Invoicing works best when tax rules, data controls, and enterprise systems are designed together,” Siloma said.
The MBS replaces paper invoicing with digital validation. It transmits data to FIRS in real time, reducing errors and enabling immediate review.
Accredited integrators ensure secure connectivity between taxpayer systems and the FIRS platform. PwC will assist organisations with process reviews, integrations, and ongoing compliance.
The mandate aims to curb revenue leakages. It aligns Nigeria’s fiscal processes with international best practices.
This accreditation expands options for businesses adapting to digital tax requirements. It supports broader reforms in Nigeria’s revenue administration.
