Understanding the End of the Financial Year:

In Australia, the financial year spans from the 1st of July to the 30th of June, divided into four fiscal quarters: July to September, October to December, January to March, and April to June. Small business owners are required to submit their tax returns for the financial year between the 1st of July and 31st of October, as stipulated by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).
