Questions
The big date is the day that counts. When a weekend moves it, the date the rule gives is shown in the note on the date. Monthly filings are due the month after the period they cover: November figures are filed in December.
A tax deadline that falls on a non-working day or an official holiday moves to the next working day (Law on Tax Administration, art. 162(6)). Sodra deadlines are shown on the date the law gives; where that is a weekend, the date says so.
Each row links the official page it comes from, and the badge at the top shows the day someone opened those pages and read the rules. Search results and third-party summaries are never used as a source. This page covers monthly VAT and payroll filings; quarterly VAT filers, annual filings, excise and customs are not here yet.
Tell us, and we correct the row and note the change at the bottom of the page. A deadline can move by decision of the authority, so open the source before you rely on a date for a penalty-sensitive filing.
