[edit] Tax Day in other countries

Do any other countries refer to the income tax deadline as "Tax Day"? I know it's practically an enshrined institution here in the US, but the other English-speaking nations I'm familiar with don't really have one solid and uniform tax day - apart from Canada, and I don't think Canadians generally use the term. I was wondering if there's any need for the "US-centric" tag. CredoFromStart 14:47, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

The article could easily be moved to Tax Day (United States). I don't think Americans would mind. Does the concept of a deadline for filling out annual tax forms exist in other countries? DavidRF (talk) 02:33, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
Yes, the concept exists in most countries which requires taxes paid. In Canada, the advertisements refer to "filing deadline" and "file by Aril 30th" - we don't have a special designator for the day. —Preceding unsigned comment added by WPaulB (talk • contribs) 17:41, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Tax Day a holiday?

RussBot said, "Tax Day" is not a holiday! Isn't there a more appropriate category?"

Tax Day is marked on my calendar of US holidays. If you consider a holiday as a day of observance, then this could be called a holiday as many Americans on this day observe that their taxes need to be postmarked to avoid a late fee. Jecowa 02:19, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
Calendars are marked with many observances, not all of which are holidays. It's just convenient to make the fiscal days on the calandar sold primarily in the US. What kind of holiday is it that you don't get off, don't spend money preparing for festivities, instead tallying up your money and telling someone else whether they owe you or you owe them? Fun to be had by all, that holiday.--WPaulB (talk) 14:10, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Philippines

Philippines also mark April 15 as final day to file income tax return to the Bureau of Internal Revenue (Philippines). It is not a holiday. Related site. ---Exec8 (talk) 21:48, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
