July 2026 Compliance Calendar: 8 Tax & GST Deadlines Every Business Should Know

By Stellar Fintech Solutions · Updated 2 July 2026 · 5 min read

Running a business in India means keeping up with multiple statutory deadlines every single month. July 2026 is one of the busiest — with due dates for GST, TDS, Form 16A, and Income Tax Returns all landing in the same four weeks. Missing even one can mean late fees, interest, and notices you didn't need. Here are the 8 dates to lock into your calendar right now.

What's changed this year: From November 2025 onward, auto-populated values in GSTR-3B Table 3.2 (inter-state supplies to unregistered persons, composition taxpayers, and UIN holders) are non-editable — you must correct errors via GSTR-1A before filing GSTR-3B, not within it. Build this into your filing sequence this month.

The 8 Key Deadlines

01
7 July 2026

TDS Payment

Tax deducted at source during June 2026 must be deposited with the government by this date.

  • Avoids interest and late payment charges
  • Maintains tax compliance standing
  • Prevents notices from the Income Tax Department
02
11 July 2026

GSTR-1 (Monthly Filers)

Businesses filing GST returns monthly must submit GSTR-1 for June 2026, covering all outward supplies (sales).

  • Ensures smooth Input Tax Credit for your customers
  • Keeps GST compliance current
  • Reduces downstream reconciliation issues
03
13 July 2026

GSTR-1 (QRMP Scheme)

Businesses under the Quarterly Return Monthly Payment scheme must upload Invoice Furnishing Facility (IFF) details by this date, so customers can claim ITC on time.

04
15 July 2026

Form 16A

Deductors must issue Form 16A for TDS deducted during the quarter — proof of tax deducted for payments other than salaries.

05
20 July 2026

GSTR-3B

Monthly GST taxpayers must file GSTR-3B for June 2026, reporting tax liability, ITC, and GST payable.

Late filing attracts a ₹50/day late fee (₹20/day for nil returns) plus 18% annual interest on unpaid tax.

06
22–24 July 2026

GSTR-3B (QRMP — Category B/C States)

Quarterly filers under QRMP file by the 22nd (Category 1 states, including Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra) or 24th (Category 2 states, including Delhi, UP, West Bengal), depending on registration state. Verify your applicable date to avoid penalties.

07
31 July 2026

Income Tax Return (ITR) Filing

For eligible taxpayers not requiring an audit, this is the due date for filing the Income Tax Return for Assessment Year 2026–27.

  • Avoids late filing fees
  • Speeds up refunds
  • Keeps your record clean for future loan and visa applications

Due dates are sometimes extended by the Income Tax Department — always confirm on the official portal before the deadline.

08
31 July 2026

TDS Return (Quarterly)

Quarterly TDS Returns are also due on this date, ensuring correct TDS credit for deductees and timely issuance of Form 16A.
