So what is a corporate year end? It is a chosen 12 month period of time where reporting is required. So typically probably about 45% of businesses have a corporate year end date that's December 31st. But in Canada we have the option to choose any year end date. So I would highly recommend choosing any other year end date, whether it's December or June 30th. A corporate year end is that 12 month period of time where we have to do reporting of the profitability, assets, liabilities and equity that was involved in that change during that period of time.
