Typical private-company deadlines
Different filings can have different clocks
Annual accounts are normally due nine months after the financial year end; Corporation Tax is normally due nine months and one day after the accounting period; the Company Tax Return is normally due twelve months after that period. First accounts and unusual periods can differ.
