Relevant Period

An entity's income year for the purposes of tax law is usually the period of 12 months ending on 30 June each year.

If you do not write any dates in this field, then your organisation will be treated as having a 1 July to 30 June income year.

An entity that wishes to adopt a substituted accounting period (SAP) can only do so with the Commissioner of Taxation's approval.

If your organisation has an approved SAP, you would have been sent a letter confirming your approved SAP.
