What Financial Dates Do You Need in Your 2018 Calendar?

2018 calendar

For business owners, the new year can be both exciting and stressful. Getting back into the swing of things and planning for the year ahead is first on the agenda. And an essential part of that planning is getting those key financial dates pencilled in to the calendar. Miss them and you could find yourself facing financial penalties – and a lot more hassle in the long run.

Fortunately, we’ve got all the dates you need right here. Read on for 2018’s key financial dates.

January 1st

The new year has only just begun and already there’s a deadline day. January 1st is the due date for corporation tax, from the period ending 31st March 2017.

January 31st

This is the deadline for submitting your online tax return from the previous year (ending 5th April 2017). It’s also the last day for any self-assessment balancing payments for the previous year. And – if that wasn’t enough – it’s the date by which you must make your first self-assessment payment for the 2017-18 tax year.

February 2nd

At the start of February, businesses need to submit their P46 (car) forms for employees who have had changes to their car or fuel benefits before January 5th 2018.

April 5th

April 5th is the last day of the 2017-18 tax year. The new tax year starts immediately the following day, on April 6th, so anyone who hasn’t already submitted a tax return for the previous year will receive a notification from HMRC

April 19th

Any PAYE and Class 1 National Insurance Contribution (NIC) payments from the 2016-17 tax year need to be made by April 19th. Automatic interest is charged following this date.

May 31st

The end of May is the deadline for issuing P60 documents to employees.

July 31st

The second payment on your account for the 2017-2018 tax year is required by this date.

October 5th

Need to register for self-assessment for the 2017-18 tax year? Make sure you’ve done so by October 5th.

October 31st

If you don’t wish to complete your tax return electronically, you should have your paper tax return completed by the end of October.

22nd each month

As well as one off deadlines, the 22nd of every month is the date by which any PAYE and NIC payments need to be made to HMRC for the previous month. The deadline is the 19th if you wish to do so by post.

How about VAT?

Every business has their own payment date for VAT. You can choose from monthly, quarterly or annual payments. Payment dates can also vary based on payment type, business type and your business’s VAT scheme.

    " I thought that is was opportune to write to you to thank you for the excellent service that UWM continue to provide to us. As we continue to expand your help and guidance have been invaluable in many areas and although I realise that UWM, like ourselves, is based on having a team that is well motivated and singing from the same hymn sheet I would specifically like to thank both Sharon and Georgina for the sterling work that you have done for us..."

    " After many attempts of trying to persuade me to switch from Sage Line 50 to Xero, you eventually succeeded last October. I must admit I was still reluctant when I started and still not sure after the first couple of months into it. I now am beginning to appreciate the benefits of Xero and the time saving that can be achieved. I thought that Sage gave me better reports, until I eventually realised how to access them by trial and error (a man thing), or use the more sensible action of calling you and get the answer straight away. It’s just learning the new layouts.... "
