The market in Nigeria

Hospitality in Nigeria is a large business-hotel market in Lagos and Abuja, short-let serviced apartments and many owner-run hotels and guest houses. Across all of them, independent properties face the same back-office problems: bookings in one place, the bar and kitchen in another, stores in a notebook and the accounts typed up at month-end. With one system, every room night, bar bill, delivery and bank transfer payment lands in the books as it happens, and the owner reads occupancy, revenue and costs from a phone.

By type of property in Nigeria

VAT, levies and tax systems

Tivuzo applies VAT as you set it on each room type, meal plan and item and keeps a VAT report by period. Tourism or local levies can be set up as their own taxes or charges so they show separately on the folio and in the accounts.

FIRS e-invoicing is not built into Tivuzo yet. Ask us about your requirements; states may also charge hotel occupancy and consumption taxes.

This page is general information, not tax advice. Rates and rules change: confirm your obligations with the tax authority or your accountant.

Licensing and guest records

Accommodation businesses in Nigeria deal with licensing and standards set by the national tourism authority and local authorities. Tivuzo keeps clear records of every stay, guest and payment, including guest ID details captured at check-in and printable registration cards, which makes inspections and guest-register requests quicker. Always follow the authorities' requirements for your property.
