Dates shown are the usual recurring deadlines under current law. The Finance Act 2026 (assented 23 June 2026) shortens annual filing timelines from 1 January 2027 — individual annual returns move to four months after year-end, 30 April for calendar-year taxpayers. This page and the subscribe feed will update when the new dates take effect. When a due date falls on a weekend or public holiday it typically rolls to the next working day. The subscribe feed carries the exact dates. Always confirm your specific obligations on iTax.
TaxOS tracks your specific obligations and nudges you before penalties start.
