    a fiscal year is to calculate yearly financial statements...it can start any day depending on the business and it ends in 1 year.. usually theres 4 quarters/periods .. 3 months each

    your best at reading your finance accounting textbooks or google

    A financial year starts from the 1st April till the 31st March the next year.

    For example, this financial year at the moment starts from the 1st April 2009 and it will end on the 31st March 2010.

    Since there was a mention of June 30th, the fiscal year sounds like it's from July 1st to June 30th; this is the case for the State of CA. This date may vary in different businesses.

    For example, on the news the State of CA will talk of the fiscal year when discussing the budget and how CA has to balance. June 30th will be the closing of the books and July 1st will be the beginning where they may receive new or continuous funding.

    It will be best to google your question if you want specific answers.

    don't worry! i THINK i get it now: financial year not only is the calulation of profit and loss, it is also the time when you have to pay tax. And because lots of ppl pays tax, they wants to saves up money (therefore buy less expenses) so most financial markets have discounts to encourage ppl to spend more.
