Calendar of Key Dates

Scott Associates have put together an simple list of important keys dates.

Keep on top of your tax this year by easily adding relevant key dates to your personal calendar. You can filter keys dates by category and click on the event to quickly add it to your digital diary. Please note, this list of key dates is not comprehensive – it is a guide only. Events or timelines may change. Unless otherwise stated, the due dates provided are for 30 June balancers only. The payment due dates for a tax return are determined by client type, the lodgement due date and when the return is lodged. HANDY HINT! When a due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday, you can lodge or pay on the next business day.
