31 October

Filing and payment of VAT for July to September.
All year
Provisional assessment
Paying monthly in advance or getting a refund? You can adjust your provisional assessment throughout the year if your profit changes.
7 years
Retention obligation
Not an annual deadline, but a permanent one: keep your full administration (invoices, receipts, bank) for at least 7 years.
These are the fixed deadlines for most freelancers who file VAT quarterly. If you file monthly or annually, other dates apply. Quarterly VAT must be in within one month after the quarter. Not sure of your rhythm? Check with your bookkeeper.

No panic, there is usually a solution. Give us a call, we will sort it and make sure the next one is on time. In English, Dutch or Polish.
