The Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) is now the Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS). If you have read about "FIRS e-invoicing" or the "FIRS MBS portal", it is the same e-invoicing system, the Merchant Buyer Solution (MBS), now run by the NRS.
What your business has to do is unchanged: issue each invoice electronically, with its Invoice Reference Number (IRN) and QR code, reported to the NRS through a licensed Access Point Provider. Yona does that for you, as the app of Elyonar LTD, a NITDA-licensed Access Point Provider.
01
Check whether you are in scope
See the phases by annual turnover below, and confirm your own obligations with the NRS or your tax adviser.
02
Choose your Access Point
On the NRS e-invoicing portal, select ELYONAR LTD as your Access Point. Our step-by-step guide shows every screen.
03
Start invoicing
Create invoices in Yona: each gets its IRN and QR code, goes to your buyer and is reported to the NRS.
The NRS (formerly FIRS) is bringing VAT-registered businesses onto e-invoicing in phases, by annual turnover. Every invoice must carry an IRN and QR code and be reported to the NRS. Yona does that part for you.
