Filing your VAT return in time is very important if you are not looking to spend money on fines from the HMRC. You have a month and week from the end of your VAT quarter to file your VAT return.

This is made much easier with the introduction of Making Tax Digital, which you can find out more about here.

Below is a list of VAT Quarters along with their deadlines for returns. People will be aligned differently so it is important that you know when your quarters are.

1^st January	31^st March	7^th May
1^st Febuary	30^th April	7^th June
1^st March	31^st May	7^th July
1^st April	30^th June	7^th August
1^st May	31^st July	7^th September
1^st June	31^st August	7^th October
