TaxPro Max spread a taxpayer's business across more than one process. Rev360 was built to put most of it behind a single login.
Knowing the full list matters, because plenty of filers still only use Rev360 for the one task they came in for and never notice what else is sitting a few clicks away.
Registration
New taxpayers register directly on selfservice.nrs.gov.ng, run by the Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS), formerly FIRS. Existing TaxPro Max accounts did not need to repeat this step, since they moved to Rev360 automatically, with login details sent by email.
Registration is also where a business first confirms its Tax ID is correctly linked. Getting that right at the start avoids a mismatch showing up later, at the exact moment a return is due.
Filing returns
Rev360 handles the returns businesses file most often. VAT returns are due by the 21st day of the following month, and the same login covers other return types without switching systems partway through.
If you specifically need help with VAT, our guide to filing the monthly VAT return covers that return in detail.
Filing on time still matters more than which portal you use to do it. A return submitted a day late attracts the same penalty whether the delay was Rev360 being unfamiliar or anything else.
Making payments
Payments sit inside the same portal as filing. Withholding tax, for instance, is remitted by the 21st day of the following month, and Rev360 is where that payment is now made and recorded against your account.
Keep the payment reference the portal generates. It is what ties a bank transfer back to the specific return it was meant to settle, and support queries move faster with it to hand.
Requesting refunds and certificates
Refund requests and certificate requests both run through Rev360 rather than a separate office process. A tax clearance certificate is the one most businesses ask about, since tenders and banks ask for it often.
If logging into Rev360 yourself is not something you want to deal with, start a tax clearance certificate request and a vetted partner firm handles the filing side. Our guide to getting one online explains the request in full.
Checking your real-time tax ledger
Rev360's ledger is meant to show where a taxpayer stands as payments and filings are recorded, rather than only at the end of a filing period. That is a genuine change from a system where a filer often only found out about a mismatch months later.
Use it to check a return actually registered before assuming a payment has gone missing.
It is also the fastest way to settle a dispute with an accountant or a director over whether a filing was actually done. The ledger shows the record, not someone's memory of submitting it.
Why one login for everything is worth the adjustment
Moving several separate processes into one portal takes some getting used to if you were comfortable with the old way of doing things. The upside is fewer logins to remember and fewer places a filing or a payment can quietly fall through a gap between two disconnected systems.
Common mistakes
- Filing and then not checking the ledger. A submission that looks complete on your end can still show as pending until the portal processes it.
- Requesting a refund through the wrong category. Choosing the correct return type first avoids a request bouncing back for resubmission.
- Treating Rev360 as VAT-only. It also handles registration, other return types, payments and certificate requests in the same place.
