How it works

From invoice to cleared — automatically

1

Bill as you always do

Raise the invoice at the counter, in the office or on the road — online or offline.

2

We talk to FIRS

PeppyBooks transmits and validates the document under e-invoicing in real time, adding the required QR and control data.

3

Books stay filing-ready

The same invoice posts to your books, stock and tax reports — nothing to re-enter.

01

What e-invoicing means for your business

Nigeria's FIRS is implementing electronic invoicing to digitise VAT administration, beginning with larger taxpayers and expanding. Businesses that adopt structured e-invoicing early avoid retrofits later.

Structured, FIRS-aligned invoice data on every document

VAT calculated correctly per line

VAT return-ready reports from your books

Offline billing with automatic sync

POS and van sales on the same compliance flow

02

Invoices that send to the tax department themselves

Issue an invoice in PeppyBooks and compliance happens in the background — no middleware, no separate device, no re-typing into a portal. Every document is transmitted, validated and stored per FIRS requirements.

Real-time transmission and validation as you bill

QR codes and control data printed on every invoice where required

Credit and debit notes handled with the same compliance flow

Automatic retry queue if the tax authority endpoint is briefly down

Compliant archive of every send to the tax departmentd document

03

Full accounting behind every invoice

Unlike standalone tax-department reporting tools, PeppyBooks is a complete cloud accounting platform — so the same invoice that clears compliance also posts to your books, updates stock and shows up in your P&L.

Proper bookkeeping with a custom list of accounts

Smart bank matching and receivables tracking

Multi-currency with automatic forex gain/loss

Inventory, POS and CRM in the same subscription

Return-ready tax reports for filing season

Van sales and POS billing included

What is FIRS e-invoicing?

Nigeria's Federal Inland Revenue Service is implementing a national e-invoicing solution (the FIRS Merchant-Buyer Solution) to digitise VAT administration. The pilot began in 2025 with large taxpayers (annual turnover of ₦5 billion and above), with phased expansion to medium and smaller businesses. Validated invoices carry an invoice reference and QR code, giving FIRS real-time visibility of transactions.
