In addition to that the tax invoice uses a different stylesheet mechanism than the other printable reports.
Tax invoice reports have a field in which you can pass the path to a css file to style your invoice. All other (invoice) reports on the other hand use a dropdown list from which you can select a predefined style. Those predefined styles are managed via menu item Edit->Style Sheets. One of the predefined style sheets (or perhaps "style sheet engines") in that list is also CSS based and would again allow you to style the invoice reports (except for the tax invoice report in this case). Unfortunately there is no way in GnuCash directly to select a specific style sheet as the default for all reports. With the tax invoice report you can currently work around this limitation by copying taxinvoice.css to your GNC_DATA_DIR ($HOME/.local/share/gnucash on linux) and modify it to your taste. If that file exists GnuCash will prefer it over the default one found in <gnucash-install-dir>/share/guile/site/2.2/gnucash/reports/stylesheets .
