About the New Zealand fiscal year

New Zealand's government fiscal year runs July 1 to June 30, matching Australia. Personal tax year also runs July–June. Companies may elect alternative year-ends with Inland Revenue approval but the July–June convention is the default.

For accountants and budget planners working on this calendar, the fiscal year runs from July 1 through June 30. The first fiscal month (FM1) corresponds to July; the fourth quarter ends on the last day of June. Year-end close, audit windows, and budget kickoff all anchor to those dates rather than to January and December. For a deeper introduction to fiscal-year mechanics, see our primer on fiscal years and the historical background on why fiscal years differ across countries.

Below you'll find printable monthly templates for every fiscal month, quarterly breakdowns, the country-specific deadline schedule, and a holiday calendar mapped onto the fiscal year so you can see where each public holiday falls relative to your reporting cycle.

Choose a fiscal year

FY labels follow the year-end convention: a fiscal year is identified by the calendar year in which it ends. Each link opens the full year-at-a-glance with all twelve fiscal months on one page.

Monthly templates

Each printable monthly template uses the standard Sunday-start week grid with New Zealand public holidays highlighted. Click through to print or save a clean copy. Templates are labelled FM1–FM12 in fiscal-year order, not calendar-year order.
