The basis period is the period for which an individual, business, or entity's income is assessed for tax purposes. It is the accounting or financial period used to calculate taxable income.
The basis period serves as the reference timeframe for calculating taxable income and is critical for accurate tax assessment. It ensures that the income reported to tax authorities corresponds to the specific period in which the income was earned, received, or accrued.
