§ 68037 Fiscal Year Definition

Key Takeaways

  • •The 'marketing season' or 'fiscal year' starts on October 1 and ends on September 30 of the next year.
  • •This is a special time period used for tracking money or sales, not the same as a regular calendar year.
  • •It’s like a school year, but for businesses or farms to keep track of their work and money.

Example

A farmer sells apples from October 2023 to September 2024.

The farmer’s 'marketing season' for apples runs from October 1, 2023, to September 30, 2024. This is how they keep track of their sales and money for the year.
