Dutch term

bilj. jaarnu

Dutch to English Law/Patents Law: Taxation & Customs
A prompt from the BVR taxpayers' database where info has to be input:

Bilj.jaarnu [fill in]
Bilj.jaarnu-1 [fill in]

I've found several Google hits on 'jaarnu' (or JaarNu, DagNu, MaandNu) but I'm not sure whether they mean simply 'Year/Day/Month' or whether the 'nu' has a further relevance. I wonder whether the whole thing just means 'present year's tax return/previous year's tax return'.

Can anybody shed any light on this?

Lucy, sounds right. Portugal, for example uses N for the present financial year and N-1 for the previous financial year, so as far as the "-1" is concerned, I would also reach the same conclusion

Agree with jarry

I would say that yours is a very good guess.

programming term. It has to be one word for a database. Hence the strange, particular makeup.
