# Why does my invoice cover more than a full calendar month?

In 2026, Stripe made a one-time adjustment to the period used to generate monthly tax invoices to align its invoicing data with its tax filing requirements.
This adjustment affects the following invoices:
- Region
- Effective date
- First affected invoice
- Invoice available from
---
- Ireland / SPEL
- July 1, 2026
- July 2026
- August 5, 2026. The invoice generated on this date is for July.
---
- All other countries
- August 1, 2026
- August 2026
- September 5, 2026. The invoice generated on this date is for August.
---
- United States
- September 1, 2026
- September 2026
- October 5, 2026. The invoice generated on this date is for September.
If your invoice is one of these transition invoices, it might cover a longer period than a full calendar month. Transactions not included in the longer period appear on the following month’s invoice.
You do not need to take any action. This was a one-time change, and your next invoice returns to the standard full-month cycle. This change does not affect your tax rates or the total fees you owe.
