Voidable transaction lookback calculator
Each kind of voidable transaction looks back a different distance from the relation-back day. Enter the day to see when each window opens and the deadline to apply to the court. Add a payment date to see which windows it falls in. The dates below are an example.
The payment on 10/06/2025 falls inside 5 of 6 windows. The shortest is creditor-defeating disposition (s588FE(6B)).

Deadline to apply to the court
15/03/2029The later of 3 years after the relation-back day (15/03/2029) and 12 months after the first liquidator was appointed (20/04/2027). The liquidator can ask the court for longer, but must apply within this period (s588FF(3)).
Windows are "the N months or years ending on the relation-back day", so each one opens the day after the same date N months earlier. Unfair loans (s588FE(6)) have no lookback limit. Transactions in an administration, deed of company arrangement or restructuring that ends in liquidation are covered by s588FE(2A)–(2D). A guide to the dates in the Act, not advice on a particular matter.
