Hi folks,

Just wondering what should be considered when choosing your accounting year. What choice gives you the most time to prepare returns etc.

I have a set of accounts that are calendar year based and I'm wondering if I need to change them to be based on a 12 month period from when trading started.

So it would either be:

01-01 to 31/12

or

01/03 to 28/02

What are the implications on timing of returns etc for both choices?

Thanks
