Three possible filing dates

Quarter ended 28 Feb

Option 1 - old manual filing system used by very few now - Return posted and payment had to be processed by HMRC by end of following month ie 31 March.

Option 2 - Electronic payment used by many - you get an extra seven calendar days - payment and e-submission by 7 April

Option 3 - Signed up for direct debit by HMRC - payment taken up to three days later ie by 10 April.

Hope this helps
