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!
