Choosing a year end

Be tax efficient when deciding a year end date.

One of the things to consider when starting a business in the Gloucester area is choosing the best date for your year end. Pitt Godden & Taylor can advise you on this.

It is important to choose the right year end for your business.

To what extent is your business seasonal? Is there a time of year when it will be more convenient to close off your accounting records, ready for us, your accountants?

From a tax viewpoint, the choice of a year end early in the tax year for an unincorporated business often means that an increase in profits is more slowly reflected in an increased tax bill.

If you are a start-up business in the Gloucester area and would like help with choosing your year end, contact Pitt Godden & Taylor.
