Dates are for the 2026/27 UK tax year and assume standard accounting periods. Your own company dates may differ — we confirm them for every client.

How we keep you on time

Nobody on our books
missed a deadline last year.

Your dates, not everyone’s

Each client has their own list, built from their company year end, VAT stagger and payroll.

Two reminders

Two weeks before, and again if we’re still waiting on anything from you.

Filed early

Most returns go in weeks before the deadline, not on the night.

Questions

Deadline questions.

Yes. You’ll get one short email two weeks before every deadline that applies to you, and another if we’re waiting on anything.
