FAQ

When is the filing deadline?

It depends on the country and entity type — see the country notes below. An accountant will confirm your specific dates and can usually file an extension.

Can an accountant reduce my tax bill?

Legally, yes — through allowances, timing, entity structure, pension contributions, and reliefs like R&D. They cannot and should not hide income.
