Year-to-date

Year-to-date

Year-to-date is a period, starting from the beginning of the current year, and continuing up to the present day. The year usually starts on January 1 (calendar year), but depending on purpose, can start also on July 1, April 1 (UK corporation tax and government financial statements), and April 6 (UK fiscal year for personal tax and benefits). Year-to-date is used in many contexts, mainly for recording results of an activity in the time between a date (exclusive, since this day may not yet be "complete") and the beginning of either the calendar or fiscal year.
