Assessment Year Selection

Income Tax || Assessment Year Selection


The Assessment Year (AY) is the 12-month period that follows the Financial Year (FY). During this time, income earned in the Financial Year is assessed and taxed. Both FY and AY commence on 1st April and end on 31st March of the subsequent year. For example, for FY 2023-24, the corresponding assessment year is AY 2024-25.
The Assessment Year is critical as it is the period during which taxpayers are required to file their income tax returns based on the income earned in the preceding Financial Year. It plays a pivotal role in determining the tax liabilities of individuals and businesses and is a key component of the tax cycle.
