3 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
Provisional tax
URA · Falls due on the last day of the 6th and 12th months of YOUR year of income, so the dates depend on when your year starts.
On change
Annual return
URSB · Falls due 42 days after YOUR annual general meeting, so the date depends on when you hold it.
Your financial year end
Company income tax return
URA · Falls due on the last day of the sixth month after YOUR year of income ends — 31 December for a 30 June year end.
