Tax Year ­ Points to Remember
·  Normal Tax Year starts from 1st July and ends on 30th June (a period of twelve months).
·  A tax payer can adopt a special Tax year after seeking approval from Commissioner of Income Tax
(CIT),
·  Commissioner can withdraw the permission granted to adopt a special Tax year in respect of a tax
payer, if in the opinion of CIT it is not feasible. But CIT must notify the tax payer the reasons in
writing for withdrawal of permission granted to tax payer.
·  A Tax Payer using special Tax year may revert to Normal Tax Year after seeking approval from
Commissioner of Income Tax (CIT).
