Afri Invoice is the only ISO/IEC 27001 certified, dual-accredited NRS System Integrator and Access Point Provider that connects your business directly to Nigeria's real-time tax infrastructure. Create, validate, send, and collect, while avoiding ₦1M+ non-compliance penalties.
From invoice submission to tax authority clearance, Afri Invoice handles the full e-Invoicing compliance lifecycle so your business can focus on operating, not on integration complexity.
As a dual-accredited System Integrator and Access Point Provider, we connect your ERP or accounting system directly to the NRS Merchant Buyer Solution, and handle validation, digital signing, and secure transmission end to end. Real-time validation. Zero middleware risk.
Every B2B invoice receives a unique Invoice Reference Number (IRN), encrypted QR code, and NRS cryptographic stamp identifier, automatically. No manual steps.
B2B and B2G invoices are cleared before delivery to buyers. B2C receipts over ₦50,000 are reported to NRS within 24 hours. Both workflows built in.
Every invoice is checked against the required NRS field schema, cryptographically signed, and verified for integrity before transmission.
REST APIs and documentation let your ERP, POS, or accounting system connect directly to Afri Invoice for submission, status tracking, and compliance reporting.
Bank-grade encryption, JWT-based API authentication, secure cloud infrastructure, and automatic daily backups. Your data never leaves Nigerian compliance jurisdiction.
Connect your existing ERP or accounting system, and every invoice you raise is automatically checked against the correct VAT, WHT, and stamp duty rules, formatted to NRS BIS Billing 3.0 UBL standards, and submitted to the MBS for pre-clearance before it reaches your buyer.
Track every invoice from submission through NRS clearance. See what has been validated, what is pending, and what needs correction, all in one dashboard.
Nigeria's Tax Administration Act now requires every VAT-registered business to issue structured, pre-validated electronic invoices through the NRS Merchant Buyer Solution (MBS). Manual invoices are no longer legally sufficient.
