Every UK private limited company has four filing and tax deadlines a year: the confirmation statement and annual accounts at Companies House, and the corporation tax payment and company tax return (CT600) at HMRC. Most companies also pay the ICO data protection fee. This template adds all five to Regmindr.

Dates from your year end
Annual accounts are due 9 months after your year end, corporation tax 9 months and 1 day after it, and the CT600 12 months after it. The confirmation statement follows your review period instead, so take its date from your company's Companies House page.
Using it with another template
Regulated firms have these deadlines too. The FCA adviser and broker template already includes them. Payment and e-money institutions add this template alongside their own.
