## Electronic Tax Invoicing in Nigeria

African countries lately have been opting to digitize their tax systems by imposing e-Invoicing or Electronic Tax Invoicing and Reporting. Electronic Tax Invoicing is a nascent Fintech category in the Pan-African region.

Nigeria is one of the countries and the country's tax authority/ regulator, **NRS** (Federal Inland Revenue Service) has a transformative e-invoicing system, named **NRS Merchant Buyer Solution** (NRS MBS). In this documentation, DigiTax Nigeria API Hub, we shall simply refer to it as *NRS E-Invoicing System*.

## Introduction to NRS E-Invoicing System and DigiTax platform

### NRS E-Invoicing System

<Glossary>NRS</Glossary> is an agency of the government of Nigeria that is responsible for the assessment, collection and accounting for all revenues that are due to the government in accordance with the laws of Nigeria.

NRS introduced the NRS E-Invoicing System to align with Nigeria's Digital Economy Policy and Strategy (2020–2030) and support the growth of the digital economy. This e-invoicing system replaces traditional paper-based or fragmented electronic invoicing methods with a robust, streamlined, and compliant digital invoicing framework.
