The revised Value Added Tax (VAT) invoice format will become mandatory from 1 October 2026, the Inland Revenue Department (IRD) has announced.
The IRD has issued an Extraordinary Gazette setting out the requirements for the revised format, which was introduced on 27 March to streamline digital tax collection and improve transparency.
Implementation was initially scheduled for 1 July but was postponed after businesses sought more time to update their accounting, billing, and invoicing systems.
The IRD has instructed businesses to complete the necessary system changes before the 1 October deadline.
