Answer 1

Could it work declaring the filter the following way?

   app.filter('dateUTC', function ($filter) {

       return function (input, format) {
           if (!angular.isDefined(format)) {
               format = 'dd/MM/yyyy';
           }

           var date = new Date(input);

           return $filter('date')(date.toISOString().slice(0, 23), format);

       };
    });
