Explanation of Solution

Tax Year: A tax year refers to a fiscal year, a twelve month period ending on the last day of the month, during which an individual or the corporation maintains the books and records for accounting and tax purpose. This is also known as accounting period.

No, a tax year ending on December 31 would not be appropriate for a ski lodge. This is because ski lodge is a seasonal business that should be ending on the month of a fiscal year soon after the winter season.
