2 that depend on your company
These have no fixed date — they follow your incorporation month, your financial year end, or a change you make.
Your financial year end
Company income tax return
GRA · Falls due four months after YOUR financial year end — 30 April for a December year end.
Your financial year end
Quarterly tax instalments
GRA · Falls due on the last day of the 3rd, 6th, 9th and 12th months of YOUR basis period, so the dates depend on when your year starts.
