The penalty framework

Three ways non-compliance gets billed

Failure to deploy

₦1,000,000 + ₦10,000/day

First day flat, then ₦10,000 for every subsequent day you remain off-system.

Off-system invoice

₦200,000 + 100% of VAT due

Per invoice issued outside the mandate, plus interest at the prevailing CBN rate.

Late B2C reporting

₦50,000 per day

For consumer sales over ₦50,000 not reported within 24 hours.

Do the maths

One off-system month can cost more than 30 years of ZUTAX.

50 invoices at ₦200,000 average, issued outside the mandate, is a ₦10,000,000+ exposure in a single month. A ZUTAX Starter plan is ₦25,000/month — and your first compliant invoice can go out this week.

50 off-system invoices, one month ₦10,000,000+
