An .ics file with every deadline for the selected year. It opens in Google Calendar, Apple Calendar and Outlook.

A tax deadline falling on a Saturday, a Sunday or a public holiday moves to the next working day. That rule does not cover every contribution, and where it does not apply we leave the original date.
