A small business owner can save on their annual corporation tax by calculating income based on a fiscal year rather than a calendar year. Using a fiscal year makes it possible to shift income between two calendar years. This does not eliminate the responsibility of a business owner to account for all income within a single calendar year. Still, dividing the total income of the business between two calendar years makes it easier to manage tax debt. A business owner can choose when to account for yearly income. Basing everything on a fiscal year can also keep their business in a more favorable tax bracket.
