A yearly rule is placed on its day in 2027; a fixed date is used as the source gives it. The weekday, the day of the year, the ISO week and the quarter are worked out from that date, and the distance to the review of November 4, 2026 is counted in days. The first entry falls on January 31, 2027 and the last on October 31, 2027.\n\nPayment: Sunday, January 31, 2027. This is day 31 of the year, in ISO week 4 and quarter 1. It lies 88 days after the review date, and it is the first entry of the year.\n\nPayment: Friday, April 30, 2027. This is day 120 of the year, in ISO week 17 and quarter 2. It lies 177 days after the review date, and 89 days after the previous entry (payment date).\n\nPayment: Saturday, July 31, 2027. This is day 212 of the year, in ISO week 30 and quarter 3. It lies 269 days after the review date, and 92 days after the previous entry (payment date).\n\nPayment: Sunday, October 31, 2027. This is day 304 of the year, in ISO week 43 and quarter 4. It lies 361 days after the review date, and 92 days after the previous entry (payment date).\n\nAcross 2027 the 4 dated entries for Québec spread over 273 days, from the first to the last. By quarter the count is Q1 1, Q2 1, Q3 1, Q4 1.\n\nThe longest wait between two entries is 92 days, from April 30, 2027 to July 31, 2027. The shortest is 89 days, from January 31, 2027 to April 30, 2027. 3 of the 4 dates fall on a Saturday or Sunday. The sources do not say here what happens when a due day is not a working day, so read the source before you plan around it.\n\nBy kind, the 2027 entries for Québec are Payment 4. By weekday they are Sunday 2, Friday 1, Saturday 1. Counted from the review on November 4, 2026, the first entry falls 88 days after it and the last 361 days after it."

The period covered is shown with the date, because the same report can be due a few months after the period ends. Instica measures and estimates the weights, prepares the file in the layout of the recipient and shows you the numbers; you sign and submit it in the official portal.\n\n#### <a id=\"kind-other\"></a>Other date\n\nSome dates in the source are neither a registration, a report nor a payment, for example a date from which a rule applies or a notice period. They are listed with the same source and quote as every other date, and the note beside each one says what it is.\n\n#### <a id=\"kind-payment\"></a>Payment\n\nA payment date is the day by which fees or dues have to be paid for a programme year. Some programmes fix the day in the rules and others set it on each invoice, which is why a month-only entry can appear without a day. Instica estimates the fee from the published rate schedule; the invoice and the payment stay between you and the programme."
