For an Australian small business, the compliance year isn't one deadline — it's dozens, scattered across the ATO and eight state and territory revenue offices. BAS, PAYG instalments, Single Touch Payroll finalisation, superannuation guarantee, FBT returns, payroll tax reconciliations and income tax lodgements all fall due on their own schedules, and the exact dates shift depending on whether you lodge yourself or through a tax agent, whether you report monthly or quarterly, and which state you employ people in. Missing one isn't just admin friction — late lodgement can trigger ATO penalties and interest. The Tax Deadline Calendar pulls these obligations into a single, ordered view built around your entity type and location, so nothing important sits in a blind spot.
You tell the tool three things — what kind of taxpayer you are (company or trust, sole trader or partnership, employer with a payroll focus, or an individual), which state or territory you operate in, and which financial year you want to see. From those inputs it assembles the set of obligations that actually apply to you: an individual sees income tax only, while a company or employer sees the full stack of BAS, PAYG, STP, super, FBT and the correct state payroll tax reconciliation. Each entry lists the due date, a plain-English description of what has to be lodged or paid, and the relevant late-lodgement consequence. You can toggle obligation types on and off to focus the view, and export the whole set as an .ics calendar file — complete with advance reminders — that drops straight into Outlook, Google Calendar or Apple Calendar. The dates reflect standard quarterly lodgement schedules and current official figures rather than anything hard-coded and forgotten; the tool itself flags that they move for monthly lodgers, tax-agent clients, substituted accounting periods, and any date landing on a weekend or public holiday.
Australian small business owners, sole traders and office managers who juggle multiple ATO and state compliance obligations and want them all mapped to one exportable calendar rather than tracked in their heads.

Often, yes — tax-agent clients frequently get later concessional due dates than self-lodgers for returns like FBT and company income tax. The tool builds around standard self-lodger schedules and flags where agent dates differ, so treat it as a baseline reference and confirm your specific concessional dates with your agent or the ATO.
