New input-VAT credits, e-invoicing mandates, state-by-state schedules: the reform created real work for every VAT-registered business and every practice that serves one. Silo builds the software that does it.
The same computation engine powers both: a done-for-you capture service for businesses, and a workstation that puts that engine in an accountant's hands for every client at once.
Since January 2026, the VAT you pay on services, equipment and rent offsets the VAT you remit. Our software finds every claimable naira in your purchase records; a CITN-licensed practitioner reviews and signs; you simply remit less each month. The review is free, and if we find nothing, you pay nothing.
How the capture service worksReturn preparation, e-invoice ingestion, the new state-by-state schedule, withholding reconciliation, amendments and deadlines, for every client on one screen. We are building it with Lagos practices now so it is ready before the July 2027 small-taxpayer wave.
See the consoleBefore 2026, businesses could only deduct VAT paid on goods for resale. The law now credits VAT on services, fixed assets and overheads: security contracts, professional fees, premises rent, generators, machinery. Most monthly filings haven't caught up. Ours is the service that catches them up.
We ingest your purchase invoices and classify every line under the 2026 rules. Nothing leaves your control.
Creditable inputs identified, mixed supplies apportioned, and every invoice that needs fixing flagged before it costs you the credit.
The savings memo and filings are reviewed and signed by a CITN-licensed tax practitioner, as the law requires. Your existing accountant stays involved.
No refund applications and no waiting on government: the saving appears on your own next filing. The fee is a disclosed share of first-year savings, then a flat retainer.
Businesses with stranded withholding-tax credit notes get the same treatment as a bolt-on module: reconciled, validated, and put to work against your company income tax. Best fit: service-heavy businesses in the ₦100m–₦5bn band, such as hotels, restaurant groups, logistics, agencies and facility management.
Nigerian practices run multi-client VAT on per-client portal logins and Excel. The console replaces the spreadsheet layer, and we harden it on real engagements before it reaches your desk.
Every client's filing status, deadlines and exposure at a glance: who's ready, who's at risk, and what's due by the 21st.
Pulls each client's e-invoice data into the file that becomes their return, the bridge between the mandate and the filing.
Computation to ready-to-file, including the state-by-state sales schedule and withholding-VAT reconciliation the 2026 rules demand.
The same engine our capture service runs on: every client's newly creditable input VAT, computed and evidenced by default.
Tracked properly, with the paper trail that survives an audit. This is the workflow the portals never gave you.
Nil returns, late-filing exposure and per-client penalty risk, surfaced before the deadline instead of after it.
Preparation, never submission. Filing stays with you, on the portal, under your signature. The console gets everything ready. It will never make a government portal's downtime your liability.
Priced for practices rather than enterprises, so serving three times the clients raises your margin instead of your costs. A small group of Lagos practices is shaping it now as design partners ahead of the July 2027 wave.
Become a design partnerSix years building compliance software used inside Nigerian and Gambian commercial banks: transaction monitoring, sanctions screening, and NFIU regulatory reporting that turned days of manual compliance work into overnight jobs.
Regulatory software only works when it survives contact with auditors, regulators and real data. That's the standard Silo is built to: every computation traceable to an invoice, every claim backed by the section of the law it stands on, every filing signed by a licensed professional.
Silo is Lagos-based and works with businesses and practices across Nigeria.
Yes. It is the law working as written. Section 155(4) of the Nigeria Tax Act 2025 (in force since 1 January 2026) expressly makes input VAT on services and fixed assets deductible against output VAT, with apportionment rules for mixed supplies. We claim exactly what the Act provides, nothing more, and every filing is signed by a CITN-licensed tax practitioner.
A licensed professional, always. Nigerian law requires returns filed on your behalf to come from an accredited tax agent. Silo's software prepares the computation and the evidence pack; a CITN-licensed practitioner reviews, signs and files. For console customers, filing stays entirely with your own practice: the console prepares, you submit.
The capture service starts with a free review; if claimable VAT is found, the fee is a disclosed share of first-year savings, then a flat retainer. If we find nothing, you pay nothing. The console is priced for practices, below what the accredited e-invoicing providers charge, so it pays for itself inside a single client retainer.
