I would appreciate help as I cannot get my head around how business tax (self employed partnership) is merged with partnership tax returns when the year ends are different.

Our business year end is 1-7-03 to 30-6-04 whereas our tax returns are 6-4-03 to 5-4-04.

Thank you

Very Confused

Hi
The accounting year that goes into the tax return for a particular year is the one that ends in that tax year. In your case it should be year to 30/06/03 unless it is the first year of trading; in that case there are special rules. That means the profits to be assessed in the 2003/04 tax year will be from the beginning of tading to 5/4/4.

Hope that helps.
