We know there’s a lot to get through before Christmas closedown for a business owner. But, do spare a thought for your tax obligations for December and January. Cash flow is uneven for many businesses over this period. Whether you’re in a flurry of January sales or taking time off on the beach, having unforeseen Inland Revenue tax due will be an unwelcome surprise.

- PAYE: Large employers returns are due for the second half of November. File employment information within two working days after payday.
20 December:
- PAYE: Small employers return is due for November and large employers returns for the first half of December.
15 January:
- Provisional Tax instalment due for Standard or Estimation Option taxpayers with March, July or November balance dates. (Different dates will apply for those clients who have different balance dates.)
