§ 78405 Fiscal Year Definition

Key Takeaways

  • •The fiscal year starts on April 1 and ends on March 31 of the next year.
  • •This is the time period the government uses to plan and track money.
  • •It’s not the same as a calendar year (January to December).

Example

If the government plans to spend money on schools from April 2023 to March 2024.

This is their fiscal year. They count all the money spent and earned during this time, not from January to December.
