What 1 July 2027 means for businesses under ₦1bn

A breakdown of the Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS) phased rollout for small and emerging businesses.

The Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS) has mandated electronic invoicing for all businesses with annual turnover under ₦1 billion, taking effect on 1 July 2027.

Under the Merchant-Buyer Solution (MBS) framework, every B2B and B2G invoice must be digitally submitted, validated, and assigned an Invoice Registration Number (IRN) prior to transmission to customers.

Key preparation steps include auditing existing accounting software, verifying customer Tax Identification Numbers (TIN), and ensuring line items comply with standard tax classification codes.

NorthGate provides direct connectivity to the MBS platform, ensuring small businesses remain compliant with zero disruption to regular sales workflows.
