For private limited companies in the UK where a tax audit is not applicable, the general due date for filing tax returns is 31st October of the assessment year. This applies unless specific conditions, such as transfer pricing requirements, necessitate an earlier filing date of 30th November. It's crucial to consult the relevant sections of tax legislation for precise guidance based on individual company circumstances.
