Basis period reform

You can now compute your clients' transition profits and the corresponding tax charge for the tax year 2023/24.
We've updated the Help for the
Sole Trade
and
Partnership Income
windows to include these new features. We're also releasing resources, including video tutorials and articles in the next few weeks. We'll tell you when these are ready in a later bulletin.
