The Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) says many large taxpayers have completed their system integrations and commenced live transmission of e-invoices in line with the extended compliance deadline of November 1, 2025.
In a statement on Thursday, Zacch Adedeji, executive chairman of the FIRS, noted the steady progress recorded since the commencement of the national e-invoicing and electronic fiscal system (EFS) on August 1, 2025.
He said many other taxpayers are at advanced stages of integration, while service providers have reported ongoing engagements with taxpayers to facilitate full adoption and transmission of invoices.
“A significant number of Large Taxpayers have successfully completed their system integrations and commenced live transmission of e-invoices to the Service in compliance with the extended deadline of 1st November 2025,” Adedeji said.

“The service commends the cooperation and commitment demonstrated by Large Taxpayers and service providers alike towards the successful rollout of the e-Invoicing regime.
“In light of the progress made so far, and as a follow-up to our previous communications, all Large Taxpayers who are yet to complete integration are hereby strongly urged to comply with the e-invoice mandate without further delay, in line with the provisions of the tax laws.”
The FIRS chairman reiterated commitment to supporting taxpayers through continuous stakeholder engagements, technical assistance, and training to ensure a seamless integration experience.

On August 10, FIRS launched an electronic invoicing system to improve tax compliance and modernise revenue collection in Nigeria.
The FIRS said the solution is an electronic fiscal system (EFS) developed to provide real-time visibility into commercial transactions and ensure invoices’ authenticity, accuracy, and completeness.
