When calculation the basis of assessments, lets say for example we get to year 2 and there is no accounting period that ends in tax year 2. Do we take the full amount and label its as (6/4 to 5/4). I have made up an example below :
Tax payer commences to trade on the 1st Jan 2015 and prepares accounts to :
Period 30.03.15 £30,000 Y/e 30.03.16 £48,000 Y/e 30.03.17 £50,000
2014/15 – Actual (01/01/15 – 05/04/15) = £30,000
2015/16 – Tax year (06/04/15 – 05/04/16) = £48,000
2016/17 – CYB (Y.e 30.03.17) = £50,000
Is this how you would handle an accounting period which does not end in tax year 2? Would you have answered this question differently ? and Have I understood CYB correctly?
