Good to know

Why the ROS box matters

Filing and paying online through ROS usually moves the deadline from the 14th or 19th to the 23rd, and for self-assessment into mid-November.

Reminders built in

The calendar file sets two alerts for each deadline, one week and one day before, so nothing sneaks up on you.

Late costs real money

Late returns bring surcharges, interest and, for companies, the loss of audit exemption. A 12-month view is the cheapest insurance there is.
