Global Tax Deadlines

Understanding Global Tax Deadlines

As a global tax services company, we understand that keeping track of tax obligations across different jurisdictions can be a challenge. Here some of the key tax deadlines in a number of countries around the world.

United States

In the United States, the deadline for filing federal income taxes typically falls on April 15. However, should this date fall on a weekend or a holiday, the deadline may be extended to the next working day. Moreover, U.S. citizens living abroad are usually granted an automatic two-month extension till June 15, and on request, this can be further extended to October 15.

Canada

Canadian residents must submit their income tax returns by April 30, while those who are self-employed, and their spouses, have until June 15 to file. It’s important to note, however, that any tax owed must still be paid by April 30 to avoid interest charges.

United Kingdom

In the UK, the tax year runs from April 6 to April 5 of the following year. Paper tax returns must be submitted by October 31, while online tax returns must be filed by January 31 of the following year.

Australia

Australia’s tax year runs from July 1 to June 30. Individuals are required to file their tax returns by October 31, but those who use a registered tax agent can benefit from extended deadlines.

Germany

In Germany, the tax return deadline for residents who are obliged to file is July 31 of the year following the tax year. Those who employ the help of a tax consultant may be granted an extension until February 28 of the second following year.

India

In India, the tax year spans from April 1 to March 31. The due date for filing income tax returns is usually July 31 for individuals and September 30 for businesses.

Keep in mind that this is just a general guide, and the specifics can change based on a variety of factors, including your residency status, income sources, and more. Tax laws and deadlines can also change from year to year.
