Step-by-step
1
Identify the tax type
Each tax type has its own statutory due-date rhythm; this calculator captures the standard ones.
2
Identify the period
Monthly tax: pick the month being paid. Quarterly: pick any month within the quarter. Annual: pick the year-end.
3
Add a buffer
TaRMS payment confirmations sometimes lag 24–48 hours. Treat the deadline as 2 working days earlier internally.
