Tax Calendar 2010 - sample
Changes in payment date
Due date falling on weekend or public holiday – all tax types
If a due date falls on a weekend or public holiday, the date moves to the next working day. Your return or payment will also be treated as being on time if it’s postmarked on the next working day.
Legislation changes
From the start of the 2009 income tax year (1 April 2008 for most people) GST return filing and payment dates, where they are not already, will be aligned to the income tax balance date. Provisional tax payments will also be due on the same day as the GST payment for that period.
For example, if your balance date is March and you pay GST two monthly, your first instalment of provisional tax will be due 28 August with your July GST return and payment.
