Financial year-end is coming
The end of the financial year is usually 31 March. This is when most small businesses and organisations close their books to calculate their income tax on their profit (their income, minus any expenses).
Generally income tax returns are filed at the end of the first year of business, and paid as a lump sum. After the first year, tax is then paid in instalments, this is called provisional tax.
