Lady Day was the first day of the civil year in England, Wales, Ireland and the British dominions (but not Scotland) until 1752 (when it was harmonised with the Scottish practice of 1 January being New Year's Day). The British fiscal year still ends on "Old" Lady Day (5 April under the 'new style' (Gregorian) calendar, which corresponds to 25 March under the 'old style' Julian calendar: the Calendar (New Style) Act 1750 advanced the calendar by eleven days. 5 April is still the end of the British tax year for personal taxation.
