Filing on Rev360 is not complicated once you know where to look. The steps below assume you already know what you owe.
Before you start
Pull your sales and purchase registers for the month before you open Rev360. Trying to reconstruct figures inside the portal itself slows everything down and invites mistakes.
Have your Tax ID and login details ready too, along with your bank account information if you expect to remit a balance rather than carry a credit forward.
Log in with your Tax ID, not an old TIN
Rev360 sits at selfservice.nrs.gov.ng. Sign in using your Tax ID rather than any old TaxPro Max login, since accounts moved across automatically when Rev360 launched.
If your business details do not appear, the organisation type and CAC registration number is what the portal checks your identity against.
Find the monthly VAT return
Inside the portal, the monthly VAT return sits under your tax types rather than a general form. Select the return period you are filing for, since Rev360 tracks each month separately.
Filing for the wrong month is a common slip when catching up on more than one period at once. Double-check the period selector before you start entering figures.
Enter output VAT and input VAT
A VAT return reconciles two figures: the VAT you charged on sales, and the VAT you paid on your own purchases. VAT paid on goods, services and fixed assets used to make taxable supplies, so keep your sales and purchase registers open while you fill the form in.
The difference between the two is what you remit, or carry forward as a credit if input VAT is higher.
Submit before the deadline
Returns are due by the 21st day of the following month. Submitting early in the month avoids the portal's busiest days, which tend to cluster around the deadline itself.
Due even if no business took place, so do not skip this step in a month with no sales.
If the portal will not let you submit
A mismatch between your Tax ID details and what NIMC or the CAC holds is the most common reason a submission fails. Our guide to Rev360 login problems covers fixes for access issues specifically, separate from a submission error.
Once filed, the acknowledgement Rev360 generates is your record. Download it and store it alongside the registers you filed from, rather than relying on the portal to keep it visible indefinitely.
If you are new to VAT altogether, start with who must register and how registration works before you get to this step. See our full VAT monthly return guide for the wider process, or start a VAT filing if you would rather have a vetted partner firm handle it.
