What are the filing deadlines?

In the 1st year of incorporation, your Profit Tax Return is typically issued about 18 months after incorporation, with 3 months to file.

From the 2nd year onwards, deadlines depend on your company's financial year-end, which the IRD groups into filing codes. As your tax representative, we apply the applicable extension on your behalf. This typically means:

  • Year-end April to November: filed within about 1 month of issue (the shortest window, no extension is available)
  • Year-end December: extended to around mid-August
  • Year-end March: extended to around mid-November (or later if reporting a loss)

We track your specific deadline as part of your annual service, so you don't need to calculate it yourself.
