If the due date falls on a weekend or public holiday, the deadline moves to the next business day. Need help collecting and submitting on time?

Filing via accounting software<\/span><\/h3>\r\n

If you submit via administration or accounting software, electronic filing usually opens in the last week of the month after the period. Filing and payment remain tied to the deadline for each period. Want to know exactly how we handle planning and submission timing?

Income tax and corporate income tax deadlines<\/span><\/h2>\r\n

Income tax for sole proprietors and partnerships<\/span><\/h3>\r\n

The deadline for filing your income tax return is 1 May after the calendar year. You can usually request an extension until 1 September. Payment follows the Dutch Tax Administration assessment. If you work with a tax service provider, a becon extension may be possible. Want to avoid surprises around payments and timelines? Arrange your <\/span>Provisional assessment 2026 for entrepreneurs<\/span><\/a> in good time.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

Corporate income tax for BVs and NVs<\/span><\/h3>\r\n

The corporate income tax deadline is 5 months after the end of the financial year. You can request an extension, generally up to 5 additional months. Payment follows based on the assessment. If you don\u2019t use a calendar financial year, count from your own year-end.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

Late with your return or payment?<\/span><\/h2>\r\n

Filing late can lead to a default penalty. If you pay late, you may receive a late payment penalty and collection interest. File as soon as possible and pay immediately to limit the damage. If you receive an additional assessment and it\u2019s incorrect, lodge an objection in time. Do you need ongoing support with filing obligations and deadlines?
