Japanese term
6月27日（火曜日)）の24時
24時 seems odd. Just to confirm:
Do they mean 12:00 am, Wednesday, 6/28?

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.
Proposed translations
6月27日（火曜日)の23：59時までに
I would not go with ２８日0時 because if the source wanted to state it, it would have stated it properly. The source intentionally highlights 27日 as the deadline, as you may have noticed.
"We can accept inquiries (...) until 23:59, Tuesday, June 27th, however(...)"
12 o'clock midnight
Or officially, 6月２８日（金曜日） 0:00.
The help desk stays open ALL day Thursday, until 11:59 PM (23:59) turns to midnight (0:00).

Oops! Misread the Kanji (again).
I see you wrote 火曜日、 not 木曜日.
In that case, I mean't 6月２８日（水曜日）
and that the help desk stays open all day TUESDAY...
...sorry.

Just like ２５時 means 1am the following day, ２７時 = 3am the follwing day, etc.
Frequently used in TV programming.

Sorry - it is much more likely that they would have said 午前０時 (not 午前１２時 as I first said) if they had wanted to say midnight Tuesday. Gomen ne!

in other words, at the end of the day, Tuesday (not the beginning of the day!)

=============
（平成18年6月27日（火曜日)）の24時まで, therefore, it is until midnight of that particular date. I don't know if it's uncommon to use a round-a-clock way of referring to time in English, while I suppose it's almost an established manner in Japanese. In a similar case and specifically where Japanese is concerned, I would advise choosing translations as close as possible to the author's intention.

Discussion
What shareholder's meeting do you refer to? I fail to see the relevence between this comment, and your original question, which is about help desk hours...
Thanks.
