22 month accounting period
3 Answers
For purposes of opening years Tax Returns and getting in line with current year basis, is it possible to have an opening 22 month accounting period? Or is that too long?
Business began in June 2004 and I want to do accounts to end February 2006. It leaves 10 months of overlap. I'm just wonmdering if there is a limit to an accounting period of say 18 months?

This will mean that there will be overlapping of your profits (or losses) and you will get this back when you cease trading. I chose 31/3 as my year end because as there would be no overlapping.
