Yet, many business owners still find the UK tax calendar confusing, especially with overlapping obligations for different taxes such as VAT, PAYE, and Corporation Tax.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"657\" data-end=\"838\">In this article, we\u2019ll walk through the <strong data-start=\"697\" data-end=\"721\">key UK tax deadlines<\/strong> you need to know \u2014 along with practical advice on how to stay compliant and organised throughout the financial year.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"840\" data-end=\"843\" \/>\n<h3 data-start=\"845\" data-end=\"890\"><strong data-start=\"849\" data-end=\"890\">1. The UK Tax Year and Why It Matters<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"892\" data-end=\"1208\">The UK tax year for individuals runs from <strong data-start=\"934\" data-end=\"956\">6 April to 5 April<\/strong> the following year. For example, the 2024\/25 tax year begins on 6 April 2024 and ends on 5 April 2025.<br data-start=\"1059\" data-end=\"1062\" \/>Limited companies, however, work with <strong data-start=\"1100\" data-end=\"1132\">their own accounting periods<\/strong>, which are set from the date of incorporation and usually last 12 months.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1210\" data-end=\"1477\">Understanding this distinction is essential because it determines when your company accounts, Corporation Tax, and Self Assessment returns are due. It\u2019s common for businesses to align their accounting year with the tax year for simplicity, but this isn\u2019t mandatory.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1479\" data-end=\"1606\">Missing a single key deadline can lead to late filing penalties, interest charges, and \u2014 in severe cases \u2014 HMRC investigations.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"1608\" data-end=\"1611\" \/>\n<h3 data-start=\"1613\" data-end=\"1682\"><strong data-start=\"1617\" data-end=\"1682\">2.
