As a business owner in the UK, understanding tax deadlines and accounting obligations is crucial to avoid penalties and ensure compliance with HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC).Here are the forthcoming deadlines and cut-off points for Q3 of 2023 to add to your diary:

NOTE: If your company’s accounting period is longer than 12 months, the first tax payment deadline is normally 21 months and 1 day after your accounting period started, and the second one is 9 months and 1 day after your accounting period ends.

For example, a company with an accounting period running from 01/09/2021 to 31/12/2022 will pay the first tranche of corporation tax by 01/06/2023 and the balance by 01/10/2023.

If your profits are more than £1.5 million, then tax is payable quarterly with two payments before the end of your accounting period and two after. The first payment is normally six months and 13 days after the start of the period, with the others three-monthly from that point.
