    Hi …

    You are correct, Tax Yr for Individuals run from 6th April to 5th April.

    First, try to understand the difference between the following terms : –
    1. Accounting Year
    2. Tax Year – 6/4/** to 5/4/**
    3. Basis Period

    Compute Profit /Loss based on the Accounting Year. Then allocate the calculated profits according to the basis period for each tax year. The profits for a basis period are taxed in the corresponding tax year.
