incomplete business [financial] year Explanation: The German term I would have expected is "Rumpfgeschäftsjahr", since an incomplete business year can only occur from incorporation to the first "normal" reporting date. Dietl, Lorenz; W�rterbuch f�r Recht, Wirtschaft und Politik |

split tax year Explanation: In England, the "Geschaeftsjahr" tends to be set by the tax year, which runs from 1st April of one year until 31st March of the following year. A fraction of that would be translated as "split". |

truncated fiscal/ financial year Explanation: The normal financial year is broken for various reasons: For e.g. Indonesia's current fiscal is truncated because the government is changing it to match the calendar year (like in most countries) instead of the previous April-March period.
