Gold Price on Tax Deadlines
The gold price on the three tax deadlines that savers in Canada, the US and the UK work to, every year since 2000. The next are the RRSP deadline (1 March 2027), the UK tax-year end (5 April 2027) and the US tax day (15 April 2027).

The deadlines
RRSP deadline. Contributions to a Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) count for a tax year if they are made by the 60th day of the next year: 1 March, or 29 February in a leap year. When that day falls on a weekend the Canada Revenue Agency accepts contributions on the next business day, so the deadline was 2 March 2026 for the 2025 tax year and is 1 March 2027 for 2026.
UK tax-year end. The UK tax year runs from 6 April to 5 April. 5 April is the last day to use that year's ISA allowance and capital gains tax allowance (unused allowances cannot be carried forward); the new allowances start on 6 April. The date does not move at weekends, though ISA providers often stop taking payments a day or two earlier.
US tax day. Federal income tax returns are due on 15 April, and the same day is the last day to make IRA contributions for the previous year (an extension to file does not extend it). When 15 April falls on a weekend or on Emancipation Day, a Washington DC holiday on 16 April, the deadline moves to the next business day. The IRS postponed it to 15 July in 2020 and 17 May in 2021 because of the pandemic, and by one day in 2018 after a systems outage. Disaster areas and some states can have later dates.

Gold and Tax Deadlines: FAQ
Which tax deadlines matter for gold investors?
In Canada, the RRSP contribution deadline (the 60th day of the year, about 1 March); in the US, tax day (about 15 April), which is also the last day for the previous year's IRA contributions; in the UK, 5 April, the end of the tax year and the last day to use that year's ISA and capital gains allowances.
Does gold rise before tax deadlines?
There is no sign of it: the deadlines change when savers in one country move money, not the world price of gold, which is set in London, New York and Shanghai. Each page shows the price on every deadline so you can see the history for yourself.
Prices: daily London and COMEX gold closes in US dollars per troy ounce, converted at that day's exchange rate. When markets were shut on the deadline, the last close before it is used. Data to 27 October 2026. Past prices are history, not a guide to the future.
