This designation places Nigeria within the global Peppol community, enabling the FIRS to integrate Peppol standards into its national e-invoicing framework to facilitate seamless, secure, and interoperable cross-border electronic invoice exchange.
FIRS, in collaboration with the Standards Organisation of Nigeria, has also successfully registered Nigeria’s Tax Identification Number (TIN) under the ISO/IEC 6523 International Coding System, aiming to streamline taxpayer identification and improve transparency in cross-border transactions.
