How to report profit on your Self Assessment tax return from 2023 to 2024 if your accounting year does not end on or between 31 March to 5 April.
Up to 5 April 2023, the basis period reporting rules applied. This means you reported profits according to your business accounting year end date within the relevant tax year (between 31 March to 5 April the following year).
For example, if your accounting year end date was 31 December 2022, you will have reported profits on your 2022 to 2023 return for the whole year (1 January 2022 to 31 December 2022).
From 6 April 2023, the new tax year basis applies. This means you will need to report profit up to the tax year end, even if your accounting year ends at a different time.
If your accounting year end is not on or between 31 March to 5 April, your profits may need to be apportioned between accounting periods.
The 2023 to 2024 tax year is known as the ‘transition year’.
In your Self Assessment tax return, you will need to report profit from the day after your accounting year end in 2022 to 2023, up to 5 April 2024.
This means you:
•will report profits covering more than one year
•may need to apportion 2 sets of accounts to estimate your profits for the year
For example, if you have an accounting year end date of 31 December 2022, you will report profit from 1 January 2023 to 5 April 2024 in the 2023 to 2024 tax year.
You need to report the profits you earned during the tax year the return relates to (6 April to the following 5 April).
If you have an accounting year end date that is between 31 March and 5 April, put the figures from these accounts in your return as normal.
If not, you need to report parts of the profit from 2 sets of accounts. This means adding together profit from:
•6 April up to your business account year end date
•the start of your new business year to 5 April the following year
For example, if you have an accounting year end date of 31 December, you will report profit from both:
Sometimes you will not know what your profit will be for the whole tax year. This may be because your business accounts for the second part of the tax year are not finalised when you need to complete your return.
If this is the case, you must estimate the profit and provide ‘provisional figures’ on your return. You will then need to amend your return when you know the correct figures.
