For BVs and NVs, the main rule is that you must file within 8 days after approval. If approval is not timely, then if the accounts have not been approved within 2 months after the preparation period ends, the not-yet-approved accounts must still be filed, stating that they have not been approved. In addition, there is an absolute publication deadline: filing must take place within 12 months after the end of the financial year. Want to know more about tax deadlines?
