BIM81250 | Transitional rules: trades commencing before 2023-24 (continuing trades) - introduction

From HM Revenue & Customs · Business Income Manual

The guidance from BIM81250 onwards sets out the transitional rules for continuing trades (trades not commencing or ceasing in 2023-24).

The basis period for 2023-24 for a trade commencing before 2023-24 (and not ceasing in 2023-24) will start on the day after the end of the basis period for 2022-23 and will end on 5 April 2024.

The basis period will comprise up to three components:

  • the standard part

  • the transition part (where applicable)

  • days following a late accounting date (where applicable)
