    I think the best way to understand basis periods is to watch the Open Tuition video lectures, it’s under chapter 6 here https://opentuition.com/acca/f6/free-online-lectures-for-paper-f6-uk-taxation/

    The first accounting period is the date of commencement to the 5 of April?
    If the 2nd accounting period is lest than 12 months use the first 12 months profit in the tax year.

    Page41 – Chapter 6 – Example 1

    Current year basis

    The tax year runs from 6th April to 5th April

    a) Y/e 31 March 2009 is assessed in the tax year 2008/09
    (Because 31 March 2009 lies between 6th April 2008 – 5th April 2009)

    b) Y/e 31 August 2009 is assessed in the tax year 2009/10
    (Because 31 August 2009 lies between 6th April 2009 – 5th April 2010)

    c) Y/e 30 April 2009 is assessed in the tax year 2009/10
    (Because 30 April 2009 lies between 6th April 2009 – 5th April 2010)

    Hope this helps!
