Staying on top of tax deadlines is crucial – missing one can mean penalties, interest, and unnecessary stress. Here are the key dates every small business owner should have in their diary:
✅ 31 January 2026 – Deadline for filing your 2024/25 Self Assessment tax return online and paying any tax due.
✅ 1 April 2026 – VAT return deadline for businesses with a quarterly VAT period ending 28 February 2026.
✅ 6 April 2026 – Start of the new tax year (time to update your payroll, personal allowances, and dividend planning).
✅ 19 April 2026 – Deadline for PAYE and NIC submissions (if paying by post).
✅ 22 April 2026 – PAYE and NIC deadline (if paying electronically).
✅ 31 July 2026 – Second payment on account for Self Assessment (if applicable).
💡 Top Tip: Use accounting software with deadline reminders or sync these dates into your digital calendar. A little organisation goes a long way in avoiding HMRC fines.
