The startup compliance calendar in plain language

How to turn a pile of deadlines into one calendar.

Pending professional review. Starter text. This page requires final review by Govind Preet Singh (and any other appropriate professional) before production launch.

Why a calendar

Most compliance failures come from forgetting, not from refusing. A single calendar, reviewed monthly, prevents most of them.

Start with the main categories

List what applies to a company like yours under company law, goods and services tax and income tax, plus anything specific to your sector or grant.

Exact obligations and dates depend on your facts and change over time. Confirm with an authorised professional.

Keep the evidence

For every filing, keep proof: the acknowledgement, the date and who did it. That proof becomes part of your data room.
