Accounting Year End and Tax Year

My accounting year runs from 1st April to 31st March and for the year ended 31.3.20, the QBSE Profit & Loss account shows turnover of £34,324 and net loss of £1,100.  When I go into “Reports”, then “Tax Summary”, then “Tax Year 2019/20”, the “Self-Assessment Summary 2019/20” shows turnover of £34,556 and a net profitof £2,816 (based on the period 6.4.19 to 5.4.20)!  I used the information from the “Tax Summary” to complete my online tax return but I now realise that it was not in accordance with my accounting profits for the year ended 31.3.20!  I am sure that this is a problem which has been previously encountered by many QB users and I will be grateful for suggestions how to resolve it!  Many thanks

Thanks for joining us here on the Community, DavidCB1971

 

You're correct that the Tax Summary runs from the 6th April of the previous tax year - 5th April of the following tax year, this is in line with the tax year dates set by HMRC on the Self-Assessment (SA100F), is this the return that you have submitted?

TY for your comments.  Yes, I was filing my business tax return for 2019/20 (tax year : 6.4.19 to 5.4.20).  Under UK tax legislation, I am required to file the figures contained in my accounts for the accounting year ended 31.3.20.  I believe that you have confirmed that when I selected "Self-Assessment Summary 2019/20", the ensuing report was populated with the accounting figures for the year 6.4.19 to 5.4.20 and NOT for the year 1.4.19 to 31.3.20.  I have therefore inadvertently filed an incorrect tax return which I must correct ASAP!  If I have incorrectly summarised the situation, please advise the correct interpretation ASAP.  Many thanks!
