Last updated: Oct 21, 2026, 17:46 (UTC+08:00)

By 7 July after the end of the tax year, unless the company has an extension of time. A company linked to a tax agent usually gets an extension, which can run to 31 March of the following year. Penalties and interest can apply if you miss the date without one.
