Tax Credits and 2 Accounting Periods

Tax Credits and 2 Accounting Periods

Didn't find your answer?

Client has year end 30th April and wants to change to 5th April.

I don't normally deal with tax credits and, before I plough through the manuals, I am hoping someone will have come across this.

As the total S/E figure on the 2011-12 Tax Return will effectively be 23 months, will this make the tax credits award lower?

You'd have thought...

... that there'd be some of that pesky legislation stuff on the subject somewhere, wouldn't you?

(The references to Schedule D have subsequently been replaced by appropriate references to ITTOIA, but I'm sure you'll get the general gist)
