How to File VAT Online in 5 Simple Steps

Filing VAT Online with TaxPro Max

Filing your Value Added Tax (VAT) shouldn't be a headache. The NRS TaxPro Max portal (formerly FIRS TaxPro Max) simplifies the process if you know where to click.

Step 1: Log In

Visit the TaxPro Max portal and log in with your TIN and password.

Step 2: Select 'Taxes Due'

Navigate to the "Taxes Due" section on your dashboard.

Step 3: Select VAT

Choose the relevant month and select "Process".

Step 4: Add Goods and Services

Enter the total value of goods and services supplied. The system will automatically calculate the output VAT.

Step 5: Input VAT Claims

If applicable, enter your input VAT to offset your liability.

Tip: Always double-check your figures before final submission to avoid audit queries.

Submit and generate your payment reference number (Remita RRR) to pay at any bank or online.
