The Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) has accredited PwC Nigeria as a system integrator for Nigeria’s mandatory e-Invoicing system under the Monitoring, Billing and Settlement (MBS) platform.
The accreditation forms part of broader efforts to transform digital tax administration, increase transparency and improve the integrity of transaction-level tax reporting in Nigeria.
“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. This accreditation reinforces PwC’s role in helping organisations build trust, comply and report with confidence. We combine deep tax and regulatory expertise with technology to ensure e-Invoicing processes are accurate, empowering businesses to comply. The e-Invoicing mandate also reflects global trends toward greater transparency and real-time oversight in tax reporting. Our role is to support businesses through this shift by helping them manage complexity, protect value and build trust across the tax ecosystem.”
Where e-Invoicing is treated simply as a technology exercise, organisations risk embedding data inconsistencies and control gaps into their operations. Managing these risks requires tax expertise to be built into how invoicing systems are designed, configured and governed from the outset.
Under the MBS framework, organisations are required to transmit invoice data to the FIRS platform in real time. This embeds tax reporting directly into business operations, with invoice data and control processes applied at the point transactions occur.
The MBS platform replaces traditional paper-based invoicing with a digital validation framework designed to reduce manual errors, improve oversight and enable real-time regulatory review. Accredited system integrators are responsible for enabling secure and reliable connectivity between taxpayers’ systems and the FIRS platform.
“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. Our tax technology capability brings tax advisory expertise into technology execution, enabling organisations to manage complexity, maintain control and rely on e-Invoicing as compliance becomes embedded into their operations.”
With this accreditation, PwC Nigeria will work alongside organisations to review invoicing and reporting processes, implement required system integrations and support ongoing compliance as e-Invoicing requirements continue to evolve.
