[← Insights](/insights)Autumn is here, which means the deadline for Jersey company tax returns is on the horizon. Returns for the 2025 year of assessment need to be delivered to Revenue Jersey by midnight on 30 November 2026. There's still time, and an early start leaves room to deal with anything unexpected.

### **Who needs to file?**

Every company that is tax resident in Jersey is required to submit an annual tax return, regardless of whether it has traded during the year or has any tax to pay. This includes dormant companies, holding companies and companies taxed at 0%.

## **Having no income or tax liability doesn't remove the need to file.**

### **The cost of filing late**

A company that doesn't deliver its return by 30 November will be liable to a penalty of **£300**. If the return is still outstanding three months after the deadline, a further **£100 per month** can be charged for each month it remains undelivered, up to a maximum of nine months. In total, a late return could cost up to **£1,200** in penalties.

Remember that filing and payment are separate obligations. For most companies, the balance of the year's tax is also due on 30 November. If your company is taxed at a rate above 0%, paying the tax due late can incur a **10% late payment penalty**, on top of any penalties for filing late. A little forward planning avoids both.

## **Your pre-deadline checklist:**

- Make sure your accounts for the period are finalised or well underway.
- Check you can access your Revenue Jersey online account and that your details are up to date.
- If your company's circumstances have changed, raise this sooner rather than later.

## **Foundations and associations**

Foundations, incorporated and unincorporated bodies, associations and co-operatives follow a different timetable, with returns due by 31 July. If you're responsible for one of these and the 2025 return hasn't yet been filed, the same penalties apply, so get in touch as soon as possible.
