Question and options
What is the last date on which a payment by way of advance tax is treated as advance tax for that financial year under section 408(3)?
30 April of the following year
31 March
20 March
15 March
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B - 31 March
Section 408(3) treats any amount paid by way of advance tax on or before 31 March as advance tax paid during the financial year ending on that day. The last instalment falls due on 15 March, but a payment made between 16 and 31 March still counts as advance tax for that year.
