📅 What is a Fiscal Year?

A fiscal year, also known as a financial year or tax year, is a 12-month accounting period used by businesses, governments, and individuals to calculate income, plan budgets, and prepare tax returns. Unlike the calendar year, a fiscal year can start on any date depending on the country’s taxation system or business structure.
