Apart from the very few businesses with exemption, all VAT returns are now required to be filed online and the ‘normal’ due date of “the end of the following month” is extended by 7 days. You quite literally have until midnight on the 7th.
You must also pay your VAT electronically and the same 7 day extension applies. HMRC must have cleared funds in their account by that date so do check you own bank systems on timing although HMRC now accepts ‘faster payments’ so in most cases payment will be almost instant.
To meet the filing deadlines for accounts and tax returns, we need your records well before the due date.
For limited companies, the date your company accounts are due at Companies House may not be the last day of the month and may further vary in the first period following incorporation.
The tax month runs to 5th so what we would generally call “June” is in fact the month to 5th July and any payroll dates which fall in that period are regarded as “June” (month 3).
The payment deadline is 22nd of the month if paying electronically (recommended) or 19th if by post.
Payments can be made quarterly if less than £1,500 per month on average.
