Ideally, you should carry out the Start-of-Year (SOY) assessment in September/October. We advise you to schedule the End-of- Year (EOY) assessments for June/July.

Please see the dates below for 2025-26:

Assessment	Start Date	End Date
Base Start-of-Year (SOY)	1 August 2025	30 April 2026
Base End-of-Year (EOY)	1 May 2026	31 July 2026
