Tax and social security deadlines from 21 July to 30 September 2026

The calendar of deadlines for the next two months, from 21 July to 30 September 2026: tax, INPS, INAIL and the professional pension funds in a single table. For particular positions the firm checks the calendar of each individual taxpayer.

IN BRIEF
Payments falling due between 1 and 20 August are postponed to 20 August with no surcharge; procedural time limits are suspended for the whole of August (sospensione feriale); many requests from the Agenzia delle Entrate are frozen until 4 September. 30 September carries the heaviest load: the LIPE quarterly VAT return, stamp duty on e-invoices, the 730 tax return form and the deadlines of almost all the professional pension funds.

TO BE CHECKED WITH THE FUND
Some deadlines of the smaller pension funds are not confirmed for 2026 on the institutional websites and have not been included in the table: the EPAP declaration (Modello 2) and the second EPAP advance payment, the CNPR declaration for accounting technicians and Inarcassa’s intermediate two-monthly instalments. If you fall into one of these categories, it is worth checking directly with the fund.
IMPORTANT
Not everything stops in August: collection action already under way, certain forms of service and any time limits other than those suspended continue to run. Before the holidays it is worth having a personalised map of your own deadlines.
