Notes:

1. Statutory Due Dates (SDD) are set out in the legislation. The SDD is normally also the Relevant due date (RDD) for interest purposes. An RDD can be amended manually using function AMEND RELEVANT DATES. For information about amending a RDD see business areas ‘Amend Payment’ (SAM1000) and subject ‘Amending the Relevant Date’ (SAM60050)

2. When a claim to adjust payments on account is processed the due dates do not change

3. The balancing payment due date is amended if

  • There is no failure to notify chargeability, and
  • HMRC issue the tax return after 31 October

Where the balancing payment is amended the RDD for one or both payments on account for the following year is similarly amended.
