New length limits on amount fields and passport IDs from 23 Oct 2026

UpcomingformatEffective 2026-10-23

From October 23, 2026, all monetary amount fields on a MyInvois e-invoice are capped at 26 digits, and passport numbers used as an ID type are capped at 12 characters. Mostly relevant if you use custom or spreadsheet-based invoice generation rather than standard software.

What to do

1
Check custom invoice templates or scripts for amount fields that could exceed the 26-digit cap
2
Confirm passport-based buyer/supplier ID entries are 12 characters or fewer
Risk if ignored: Submissions violating the caps will be rejected after Oct 23, 2026.
