The Federal Inland Revenue Service has certified eTranzact International Plc as a provider for its nationwide e-invoicing rollout, thus expanding the collaboration that began with VAT automation under Tax Administration 2.0.
According to a statement from the firm, the approval strengthens eTranzact’s position as a trusted partner in government-led digitisation of tax and business processes.
The FIRS e-invoicing platform, the Merchant Buyer Solution, introduces structured digital invoices across business-to-business, business-to-consumer and business-to-government transactions. By design, it simplifies tax processes, enhances compliance and improves transparency in the economy.
At the unveiling of eTranzact and other service providers, the Acting Director of Tax Automation at FIRS, Mike Adoga, said the certified providers met rigorous requirements, including nationwide service capacity, proven security, neutrality and scalability, with technical input from the National Information Technology Development Agency.
The Chief of Staff to the Executive Chairman of FIRS, Tayo Koleosho, explained that the providers were carefully selected based on their ability to deliver at scale.
“NITDA’s role was critical in tightening data protection and cybersecurity on the platform, giving taxpayers confidence that their information is safe and the process is transparent,” he noted.
On his part, the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of eTranzact International Plc, Niyi Toluwalope, described the e-invoicing as a platform for innovation in business-government interaction.
“This recognition by the FIRS affirms our vision to be the preferred integrated financial technology platform for merchants and consumers. For us, e-invoicing is more than compliance. It is an opportunity to transform the way businesses interact with government, creating transparency, efficiency and value for every stakeholder,” Toluwalope said.
This certification builds on eTranzact’s track record of supporting national tax automation. In 2017, under Tax Administration 2.0, the company partnered with FIRS and leading banks to deploy an API system for secure VAT and WHT reporting through TaxPro Max. That infrastructure established a new standard for digital transparency in tax reporting and laid the foundation for Tax Administration 3.0.
In addition to tax solutions, eTranzact delivers technology that addresses other government and institutional needs. In 2024, it deployed a verification system for the Military Pensions Board, enabling pensioners within Nigeria and abroad to authenticate their identities seamlessly.
The firm said that through the e-invoicing rollout, eTranzact is helping FIRS achieve its mandate of digitising invoicing nationwide while bringing to bear two decades of experience in building secure, scalable, and trusted technology that meets international standards yet remains locally relevant.
