- Sri Lanka’s Inland Revenue Commissioner General issued Gazette No. 2500/106 on 6 August 2026.
- The Gazette amends the earlier notice on VAT tax invoice format/specifications issued in Gazette No. 2481/22.
- Mandatory compliance with the revised VAT tax invoice format has been postponed from 1 July 2026 to 1 October 2026.
- All other provisions in the earlier Gazette remain unchanged.
- The delay gives VAT-registered persons extra time to update systems and operations.
