Definition for : Calendar year and Accounting year

The period starting on 1 January and ending on 31 December of the same year. A significant number of companies do not use the calendar year as their "accounting year" (defined as the 12 months period for which financial statements are produced, and in relation to which the tax Liabilities are calculated). The reason generally lies in the seasonality of their activity which justifies choosing a different period.
