Rev360: the NRS portal that replaced TaxPro Max
What the NRS's Rev360 portal is, what moved across from TaxPro Max, how returns are filed there, and how Achekam works beside it rather than in its place.
By Achekam · · 4 min read · For Running a business businesses in Nigeria
For several years, a Nigerian business's federal tax life ran through TaxPro Max. Log in, file, pay, download the receipt. In 2026 the name on the door changed twice: the authority itself was renamed, and the portal was replaced. Bookmarks broke, instructions written for staff went out of date, and many owners were left unsure what had moved and what they still had to do themselves.
This article sets out what changed, what carried over, how filing works on the new portal, and where accounting software such as Achekam fits beside it.
From FIRS to NRS, from TaxPro Max to Rev360
Nigeria's Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) has been rebranded as the Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS). (One official text of the law spells it "Nigerian Revenue Service"; you will see both.) The authority is the same body with a new name, and your obligations to it did not lapse with the rebrand.
On 30 April 2026, the NRS launched Rev360, at selfservice.nrs.gov.ng, to replace TaxPro Max for registration, filing, payments, refunds and tax clearance certificates. It is being rolled out in phases, so a function may arrive on Rev360 later than another. If something you used to do on TaxPro Max is not yet where you expect it on Rev360, check the NRS's announcements rather than assuming it has disappeared.
What carried over
TaxPro Max profiles, history and balances were migrated to Rev360 automatically. You do not re-register, and your filing and payment history is meant to be there when you log in.
Check it rather than trust it. On your first visit, compare Rev360's view of your recent returns, payments and balances with your own records. A migration that moved most things correctly may still have left something out of place, and the time to find it is before a deadline or a clearance certificate application depends on it.
Filing by Excel upload or web form
Returns are filed on Rev360 either by uploading a completed Excel template or by completing a web form. The NRS publishes the official return templates for VAT, withholding tax, withholding VAT, stamp duty and company income tax under the Nigeria Tax Act, which are completed and uploaded on Rev360. Download the current version each time rather than reusing an old copy, since a template built for one law or layout may not be accepted under another.
Payments, refunds and clearance certificates
Payments, refund applications and tax clearance certificates also run through Rev360. On clearance certificates, the law gives the NRS a timetable: it must issue a certificate within 2 weeks of a request or give reasons, and the certificate covers the last 3 years. Requesting one is covered in getting a Nigerian tax clearance certificate.
For payments, the reference that matters is the authority's own (an RRR or a DIN), and the receipt you download is your proof. How to record both is explained in recording a Nigerian tax payment with its RRR.
Adviser access without shared passwords
Rev360 gives tax advisers role-based access, so an adviser can act for your business without you handing over your login. That is a real improvement on the old habit of sharing one password among the owner, the bookkeeper and the tax consultant. Setting it up, and the matching appointment in Achekam, is covered in giving your tax adviser access in Nigeria.
No system-to-system filing yet
The research behind Achekam found no public NRS system-to-system API for filing returns. In plain terms, no accounting package can file your return directly into Rev360 on your behalf; a person files on the portal, by upload or web form. Any software that claims otherwise is claiming a connection the research did not find.
Where Achekam sits beside the portal
Achekam prepares and controls; Rev360 receives. Inside Achekam, a Nigerian tax return is prepared by one person, reviewed by a second and approved by a third, after which its rule snapshot and figures are frozen. An amendment is a new version; nothing is overwritten.
Achekam does not file the return. A person with the business's NRS filing permission files on Rev360 and uploads the receipt, and a different person verifies it before the return counts as filed. Payments are recorded with the authority's own reference and receipt, never with a reference Achekam invents, and a second person confirms each one.
Two practical points about that filing permission:
- No role receives it by default. It is granted to named people only, which is the right instinct for a permission that says "this return reached the NRS".
- The permission is given to no role when the pack is activated, and no screen was found that grants it, so recording a filing may be unreachable in your workspace. Test it on a return already filed, well before you depend on it, and keep the Rev360 receipt on file regardless.
A Rev360 checklist for the business
- Log in to Rev360 and confirm your profile, history and balances against your own records.
- Replace every TaxPro Max link and instruction in the business with Rev360's.
- Download fresh return templates from the NRS each time you file.
- Set up role-based access for your adviser instead of sharing a password.
- Decide who in the business files, who verifies, and who records payments.
- Keep every Rev360 receipt with the approved return it belongs to.
The portal changed; the discipline did not. Prepare carefully, file on the authority's own channel, and keep the proof.
General guidance only, not advice on your own circumstances. Tax and payroll rules change: check the current position with the authority or your adviser.
