Businesses in Nigeria that are required to collect tax will be issued an identification number. Tax identification numbers can be verified with the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), and will follow a certain format. The VAT number format is 01012345-0001.

Other than the format (12 digits, XXXXXXXX-XXXX) and that it is also referred to as JTB TIN I can't really find any other useful information about this number and how to validate it. If anyone can provide some more information, feel free to update this ticket.
