Advance tax reminder on WhatsApp
Advance tax is due four times a year, and missing an instalment adds interest you did not need to pay.
How to set it on WhatsApp
Check the current advance tax due dates, then set one reminder per instalment with RememberMyTask, for example “Remind me to pay advance tax before 15 December”. Each one nudges you 2 days and 1 day before. Or use “every year on 10 June” style reminders so they repeat each year.
