Is this the first year of trading?

What the compliance calendar is for

The result lists the key compliance steps that usually follow from the company-year facts you enter, such as accounts, confirmation statement, tax, VAT, and payroll actions.

It is intended to improve workflow visibility, especially for small teams that currently manage deadlines ad hoc.

Rule summary

A useful compliance calendar combines obligations, not isolated dates

The company year creates more than one deadline. Accounts, tax, confirmation statement, VAT, and payroll obligations often overlap and need to be managed together.

The right calendar therefore depends on whether the company is VAT-registered, running payroll, and still in its first year of trading.

Worked examples

How the result behaves in practice

Company with VAT and payroll

The business has a year end, is VAT-registered, and runs payroll throughout the year.

The checklist expands because the company needs visibility across several recurring compliance streams, not just annual accounts.

Simple first-year company

A newer company is not yet dealing with every recurring tax process.

The generator produces a lighter list because the compliance footprint is still narrower.

Turn the result into an action plan

Treat the checklist as a live working calendar, not as a one-time reference page.

Open the specific deadline or penalty tools when one item needs a deeper calculation.

Review the calendar again if VAT or payroll status changes, because that alters the practical obligation set.

Company compliance calendar

This guide explains why a company compliance calendar needs to combine obligations rather than leaving accounts, tax, VAT, and payroll as separate mental lists.

Assumptions and limits

This tool gives a practical estimate and depends on the assumptions shown below.

Assumptions

  • The inputs entered are complete and reflect the facts for the relevant filing, tax, or compliance period.
  • The tool is used for a standard scenario rather than a specialist exception, relief, or disputed case.

Limits and rule basis

  • This tool does not replace detailed professional review where the facts are unusual or contested.
  • If the underlying rule depends on reliefs, appeals, or special handling, the real outcome may differ.
