Tax Calendar
key logdement dates for business
Where a due date falls on a day that is not a business day (that is, the due date is a Saturday, a Sunday or a public holiday), lodgment or payment may be made on the first business day after the due date without incurring a penalty or general interest charge.
A business day means a day other than a Saturday or a Sunday, or a day that is a public holiday. A public holiday is a day that is a public holiday for the whole of any state or territory in Australia.
If a due date falls on a public holiday which is a public holiday for the whole of a state or territory, taxpayers in all states and territories are granted the deferred due date.
