Trading allowance restricted for short period?

Is the trading income allowance pro rated for a short accounting period?

Didn't find your answer?

Hi all

Happy New Year

I'm struggling to find the definitive answer and hoping you may be able to help.  Is the trading income allowance restricted for a short accounting period?

Many thanks for your help.

No, the length of the accounting period is irrelevant as the allowance applies for the taxyear, not the accounting period.

Tim is of course correct. Here is the legislation:-
