DigiTax has been approved by Nigeria’s FIRS to operate as an Access Point Provider and System Integrator, helping large firms comply with e-invoicing.
Kenya-based DigiTax says it has been approved by FIRS to offer e-invoicing services in Nigeria.
An Access Point Provider is a certified bridge that passes invoice data between a company and the government system. A System Integrator is a vendor that connects business software, like accounting tools and ERPs (enterprise resource planning systems, the “system of record” for finance and operations), to that government platform.
Nigeria’s e-invoicing regime runs under the Electronic Fiscal System (EFS). FIRS launched it in July after a pilot that began in November 2024 with selected large taxpayers. Under the new rules, companies earning ₦5 billion (about $3.3 million) or more per year must register, integrate, and transmit invoices in real time.
DigiTax builds software that plugs invoicing and finance systems into tax authority platforms. The company says it already integrates with tools such as QuickBooks, Zoho, Odoo, and Sage, and supports both B2B and B2C invoicing workflows.
Nigeria is DigiTax’s third active market after Kenya and Zambia. In Kenya, it integrates with the Kenya Revenue Authority’s electronic tax invoice management system (eTIMS). In Zambia, it works with the Smart Invoice system, which is mandatory for VAT-registered taxpayers.
For Nigerian large companies, e-invoicing is moving from a compliance project to an always-on operational requirement. “Real time” means invoices have to be validated and sent as they are issued, not bundled later.
For vendors like DigiTax, FIRS approval creates a clear route to sell integrations, onboarding, and ongoing transaction-based services. DigiTax says it charges annual subscriptions, transaction fees, and integration costs, which aligns with how e-invoicing programs typically drive recurring revenue.
More cross-border providers entering Nigeria also suggests a growing market for tax and invoicing infrastructure across Africa, as more revenue authorities digitise enforcement.
