Box 43 - if an accounting period is 01/04/2009 - 31/01/2010 as it is a short cap. why is box 43 2009, I always get this wrong and do not understand how it works. Any basic tips appreciated.
thank you

Financial year is the year beginning 1st April

So, for profits between 01/04/2009 and 31/03/2010, the FY is 2009.

I realise this is in contrast to self assessment and payroll, where we are currently in the 2011 tax year, but for Corporation Tax we are in the 2010 tax year at present.

But don't worry, tax doesn't have to be taxing

Good luck in the exams.
