A “Calendar Year” is defined as a 12-month period beginning on January 1 and ending on December 31, used for financial reporting and tax purposes. It contrasts with a fiscal year, which may start on any date. Businesses often align their accounting periods with the calendar year for simplicity in financial statements and compliance. Understanding the calendar year is crucial for accurate financial planning and reporting.
