Retail E-Invoicing FAQs

How does B2C e-invoicing work for retail?

Unlike B2B invoices that require pre-clearance, B2C transactions must be reported to NRS within 24 hours of issuance. ZUTAX automatically batches and submits your daily B2C transactions to meet this requirement.

Can ZUTAX integrate with my POS system?

Yes. ZUTAX provides APIs that integrate with popular POS systems. We can also work with your POS vendor to enable direct integration.

What happens if I don't report B2C transactions on time?

Late reporting of B2C transactions incurs a penalty of ₦50,000 per day. ZUTAX's automatic reporting ensures you never miss the 24-hour deadline.

Do I need to print IRN on retail receipts?

B2C receipts require a QR code that links to the transaction details. ZUTAX generates these QR codes automatically for all B2C transactions.

How do I handle returns and refunds?

ZUTAX supports credit notes for returns. When a customer returns an item, you generate a credit note that is also reported to NRS, maintaining full compliance.
