If you’re planning on submitting your tax return yourself — whether via e-tax or via the manual mailing in the forms route — then remember that Saturday October 31 is the deadline for getting it in.

While people using agents can bask in a longer submission period (which varies depending on a number of factors), the end of October is the cut-off for regular salaried employers. Make sure you’ve claimed any available deductions and checked for common errors, and ensure that you hang onto the relevant documentation.
