(c)“special accounting period” means each of a succession of periods of the same length as the next prescribed accounting period which does not exceed 3 months, and—
(i)the last such period shall end on the day before the commencement of that next prescribed accounting period, and

(d)the “tax year” of a taxable person means—
(i)the first period of 12 calendar months commencing on the first day of April, May or June, according to the prescribed accounting periods allocated to him, next following his effective date of registration determined in accordance with Schedule 1 [F5, 2, 3 or 3A] to the Act, or
(ii)any subsequent period of 12 calendar months commencing on the day following the end of his first, or any subsequent, tax year,

(4) A taxable person who incurs exempt input tax during any tax year shall have applied to him a longer period which shall correspond with that tax year unless he did not incur exempt input tax during his immediately preceding tax year or registration period, in which case his longer period shall—
