If there is one thing we’ve learned helping 10,000+ founders from 100+ countries, it’s that successful entrepreneurs don’t just react, they plan.
Running a UK company from abroad gives you incredible credibility and access to global payment rails, but it also comes with a specific rhythm. Miss a filing date? That’s a fine. Miss a key e-commerce holiday? That’s lost revenue.
We’ve curated the ultimate 2026 UK Business Calendar to keep you compliant and profitable. Here is a snapshot of what’s coming up.
1. The Compliance “Must-Dos” As a UK company director, even a non-resident one, you have statutory obligations.
- Confirmation Statement: This confirms your company data is up to date. It’s usually due a year after incorporation.
- Annual Accounts: Your financial summary. Late filings here lead to automatic penalties.
- VAT Deadlines: If you are VAT registered, your returns are typically due quarterly.
Need help tracking this? Launchese can handle your filing reminders and reinstatements if things slip.
