The next Conservative leader and UK prime minister will be announced on 5 September, party bosses have said.
In a bid to rapidly eliminate fringe candidates, they have also decided to make it harder to enter into and progress in the contest.
Tory MPs will whittle the field down to two final candidates before the end of next week, in successive rounds of voting.
Around 160,000 party members will then pick the winner in a postal ballot.
Eleven candidates have come forward so far in the race to replace Boris Johnson, who resigned last week after a revolt among his MPs and ministers.
Other candidates could still enter the race, with Home Secretary Priti Patel believed to be weighing up whether to run.
Brexit Opportunities Minister Jacob Rees-Mogg has ruled himself out, telling the Telegraph he wanted to "unite rather than further fracture the right".
The contest so far has been dominated by the issue of taxation, with nearly all of the candidates pledging cuts to personal or business taxes, or both.
'Fairy tales'
Earlier, Chancellor Nadhim Zahawi, who launched his campaign over the weekend, set out plans to cut corporation tax, income tax and business rates.Fellow candidate Foreign Secretary Liz Truss has also vowed to cut taxes "from day one" and scrap April's hike in National Insurance. Another, former Health Secretary Sajid Javid, outlined £39bn in tax cuts over the weekend.
The various tax-cutting proposals mark a contrast with ex-Chancellor Rishi Sunak, who will say on Tuesday that any tax cuts should have to wait until inflation has been "gripped".
At an event to officially launch his campaign, he is expected to say: "We need a return to traditional Conservative economic values - and that means honesty and responsibility, not fairy tales".
But he will pledge that under his leadership, reducing the tax burden is a "question of 'when', not 'if'".
Next Conservative leader and PM to be unveiled by 5 September
Party bosses have also changed the rules to make it more difficult to enter and progress in the race.

Libs in the UK don't like blacks who are Tories.
In their racist viewpoint, they think all blacks should be like them, and that blacks or browns like Kemi Badenoch and Priti Patel are Uncle Tom's.. That's why UK liberals don't like Badenoch.
Blackie, you aren't known to be tolerant of black people either.
Or women.
Or anyone that isn't you.
The case for a culture warrior PM
The Tories should take a punt on Kemi Badenoch.
TOM SLATER

To say that Kemi Badenoch is the best bet for the Tories is a profound understatement. It’s not even close. In this Conservative Party leadership race, among a parade of grinning Blairites and tragic Thatcher tribute acts, the former equalities minister and MP for Saffron Walden is the insurgent candidate who most seems to ‘get it’. Namely, that the culture war is very real and needs to be fought. That it is the key dividing line in modern politics. That those seeking to divide Brits by race and gender and identity are not well-meaning progressives but are among the most pernicious people in public life today. That the erosion of freedom of speech and the derangements of gender ideology cannot continue to take hold in our institutions unchallenged. And that all this is not some fiction, cooked up by ‘right-wing’ pundits to amuse men who look like Peter Bone of an evening. It is all very real. And the more politicians ignore it, or just chortle at it from the sidelines as so many Tories do, the worse it will get.
While Boris Johnson’s government often caved in on the culture war, his long-time equalities minister was a noble exception. If you haven’t already seen Badenoch’s 10-minute filleting of critical race theory, you’re in for a treat. Closing a Commons debate on Black History Month in October 2020, she made a powerful, at times furious, case against the new racial politics. Badenoch – born in London but raised in Nigeria – railed against the post-Floyd importation of America’s racial psychodrama and made clear that ethnic-minority Brits are those who suffer most under woke identitarianism. They are cast as inescapably oppressed, as permanent outsiders to our national story. That she happens to be a black woman is besides the point. Badenoch is easily the most eloquent and sophisticated critic of wokeness the parliamentary Tory Party has so far produced.
On gender ideology, as on race, Badenoch seems to recognise the bigger forces at play – the menace underlying the demand to #BeKind and the deranged agenda posing as tolerance and liberalism. It is the failure to grasp all this that has made the Tory Party so weak on gender ideology. Metropolitan Tories, desperate not to look like ‘the nasty party’, have ended up indulging one of the nastiest ideologies out there – one which seeks to strip women of their sex-based rights and demonise those who dare to dissent. Badenoch, by contrast, has refused to be cowed on this issue, in the face of various hit pieces in the media. In the final days of Boris Johnson’s disintegrating government, she pushed through the abolition of gender-neutral toilets in public buildings, reportedly in the face of bitter civil-service opposition.
On free speech, the first casualty of our culture war, Badenoch also seems reliably sound. ‘Free speech is no longer something we can take for granted’, she told an event in parliament yesterday, addressing an audience of free-speech activists. She condemned the clampdown on ‘legal but harmful’ speech contained within the government’s Online Safety Bill. And she had a pop at those who insist cancel culture is a myth: ‘[Y]ou often hear… that the debate on free speech is a conspiracy whipped up to spark a culture war, or it’s a cover for bigoted middle-aged white men to spout politically incorrect nonsense. Well, I’m not middle-aged, I’m not white and I’m not a man…’ At which point someone shouted ‘are you sure?’ from the floor. ‘I know what a woman is’, Badenoch shot back, sparking a big cheer.
Whether Badenoch – who has only been in parliament for five years and is yet to be appointed to the cabinet – will be able to rise to the challenge of the highest office in the land remains to be seen. Whether she can appeal to those in the Red Wall is another big unknown. Her bromides about the free market may play well among the Tory selectorate, but will land less well in the working-class towns of the Midlands and the north. The great tragedy of our current economic crisis is that no one – from either main party – seems to have a credible answer to get us out of this. Though it was refreshing to see Badenoch take aim at the disastrous Net Zero policy at her launch event this morning, dubbing it ‘unilateral economic disarmament’.
But Badenoch certainly has one big thing in her favour. She gets the cultural mess that we’re in. In many ways, the culture war is upstream from many of the other issues we face. And in a time when it’s difficult to put a Rizla between the two parties on various issues, her bold stance on wokeness could prove to be compelling. Badenoch has a tendency to frame her pitch as a remedy to the forces of ‘populism’. But there is actually much that is populist about her pitch – in her insistence that ordinary people’s values shouldn’t be scorned and that elite identity politics must be confronted for everyone’s sake. This is a case that if made well will chime with many Brits.
As Tory MPs line up behind the big candidates, jostling for cabinet positions to come, Badenoch has a slim chance of making the final ballot. But if the Tories had any sense, they’d take a punt on her. A culture warrior PM is exactly what we need.

Oh really? Well I suppose I have been intolerant, but it's usually to BS, not because of a person's race, gender, etc...
The only reason you would like Thatcher is because SHE was a racist, highly elitist, classist, conservative twat.
Because I don't have intolerance for people based on their gender, race, religion, etc...? If you're an idiot, you're an idiot regardless of those things, not because of them.
As for the second comment, your own racism has shown repeatedly, same with your sexism. You are actually quite proud of the misogyny you hold for women. Thatcher was a wannabe Reagan. If you look at her history, her elitism is there, her racism is there.

Zahawi and Hunt knocked out of contest
Nadhim Zahawi and Jeremy Hunt have been eliminated from the race to be next Tory leader, following the end of the first round of voting.Candidates needed at least 30 MPs to support them to progress to a second round - neither Hunt nor Zahawi managed this.
Those six who made it will now proceed to a series of votes among MPs, eliminating the last placed candidate in each round until a final two are left.
This process is set to be completed by Parliament's summer recess on 21 July.
The remaining pair will then face Conservative Party members at a series of hustings around the country over the summer, who will vote to select the new leader, and therefore Prime Minister.
Sunak camp upbeat about first round result
Chris Mason
Political Editor
Team Sunak say "he’s landed a quarter of the party with eight candidates in the field".
The former Chancellor has won 88 of the possible 358 votes in today's opening ballot of Conservative MPs.
LMAO! Really? Where have I been racist? Sexist?
I don't hate men, sweetie. I hate idiots. That men are sometimes idiots goes without saying.
Not anti-white. I think White people are assholes, but I'm not 'anti-white'.
Where am I racist?
I'm not afraid of Christians. My father is Anglican and I don't fear him. My cousins are Roman Catholic.
While not Christian, I respect REAL Christians and don't tolerate the fakers.
So... lots of wings and misses there, Blackie.
You've got a lot of have for a lot of people. You're a hater.
Christians. Males. Whites.
It's an inferiority complex.
Prove it.
I DISLIKE people.
I RARELY hate people. Hate would imply 1, that I care about them and 2. takes too much energy.
Even you, Blackie-luv... I don't even hate you. To me you're just a sad, little man-child who has yet to grow up.
Foreign Secretary Liz Truss is dark horse in PM race
Tory leadership rivals are scrambling to catch former chancellor Rishi Sunak after he won the second round of voting to choose Boris Johnson's successor.
Five candidates remain after Attorney General Suella Braverman was knocked out in Thursday's vote.
Mr Sunak won 101 votes, Penny Mordaunt gained ground on him, with 83 votes, and Liz Truss came third with 64.
Ms Truss's chances were boosted on Thursday evening when Ms Braverman backed the foreign secretary.
Former Brexit minister Steve Baker has also endorsed Ms Truss, and the BBC understands most of the 27 Tory MPs who voted for Ms Braverman are expected to do the same.
Former equalities minister Kemi Badenoch - who came fourth with 49 votes in Thursday's vote - and foreign affairs committee chairman Tom Tugendhat - who was fifth on 32 - both say they are determined to stay in the contest.
The next round of voting, when the candidate with the least votes is eliminated, takes place on Monday.
The five remaining candidates will take part in televised debates on Friday on Channel 4, Sunday on ITV, and Tuesday on Sky.
