All about Financial Year in Tally Prime | Modify the Current Period in Tally

Companies throughout the world typically produce their balance sheets and income statements for a one-year period. However, the commencement date of this time differs from nation to country.

1. All about Financial Year

This one-year period in India begins on April 1st and concludes on March 31st. The time during which money is earned is referred to as the Financial Year or Fiscal Year. Income tax returns are submitted, and taxes for a firm are typically paid the following year following the conclusion of the fiscal year. The Assessment Year is the next year in which the income is taxed.

So, if the accounts are being produced for the fiscal year beginning 1 April 2021 and concluding 31 March 2022, the period would be referred to as Financial Year 2021-22. And this income would be taxed the next year, which would be known as Assessment Year 2022-23.

In non scientific words, the financial year is the year in which the income is produced, and the assessment year is the year in which the income is taxed, all taxes are paid, and tax returns are submitted. The income tax regulations and slab rates that will be applied for the assessment year 2022-23 will be the same as those that will be used for the fiscal year 2021-22, and so on.
