Every deadline that carries a penalty, as a downloadable calendar with reminders seven days ahead — because knowing the date isn't the problem, remembering it is.
Which calendar should you download?
Individuals: three dates — 31 October, 15 May and 30 June. Businesses: quarterly BAS, TPAR and year-end resolutions. Employers: the four super guarantee dates plus STP finalisation and the FBT year end. Download more than one if they apply; the events don't clash.
- Individual: 3 recurring events
- Business BAS: 6 recurring events
- Employer super: 6 recurring events
- All repeat yearly with alarms

FAQ
Using the calendar.
How do I add these dates to my calendar?
Download the .ics file for your situation and open it — Apple Calendar, Google Calendar and Outlook all import it. Each event repeats annually and carries a reminder seven days before, which is the part that actually prevents late lodgement.
Why does super have a seven-day reminder?
Because contributions must reach the fund by the due date, and clearing houses take several business days. Paying on the 28th is usually paying late — and late super is not deductible.
Do agent extensions apply to all of these?
No. Income tax returns and BAS get agent concessions; superannuation guarantee and STP finalisation do not. The calendar files note which is which in each event description.
What if my due dates differ?
They can — larger entities, monthly lodgers and taxpayers with poor lodgement history have different dates. These files cover the standard small business and individual cycle. We confirm your actual dates when you engage us.

| Company / trust return (small) | 31 October | 15 May |

Dates falling on a weekend or public holiday generally move to the next business day. Super guarantee has no agent extension and late payment is not deductible — it's the one date worth setting two reminders for. Larger entities, monthly lodgers and taxpayers with overdue lodgements have different dates; we confirm yours when you engage.
