There is no way for the user to change the alignment of all intervals when requesting a report. For example, given the following two commands:

> test reg -p "monthly"
08-Jan-01 - 08-Jan-31            Assets:Cash                   $-40.00       $-40.00
                                 Expenses:Books                 $20.00       $-20.00
                                 Liabilities:Cards              $20.00             0
08-Feb-01 - 08-Feb-29            Assets:Cash                   $-80.00       $-80.00
                                 Expenses:Books                 $40.00       $-40.00
                                 Liabilities:Cards              $40.00             0
> test reg -p "monthly from 2008/01/15"
08-Jan-15 - 08-Jan-31            Assets:Cash                   $-20.00       $-20.00
                                 Expenses:Books                 $10.00       $-10.00
                                 Liabilities:Cards              $10.00             0
08-Feb-01 - 08-Feb-29            Assets:Cash                   $-80.00       $-80.00
                                 Expenses:Books                 $40.00       $-40.00
                                 Liabilities:Cards              $40.00             0

In the second example we specify a begin time in the period expression but it effects the first interval only (Jan).

I am in the UK and our tax year starts on 6th April. It would be very nice to be able to report monthly and yearly from this date across a wide time range.

The issue has been mentioned before but not actually addressed I believe:

There's also mention in the forums of an old bug 532 that's been archived:

And some more discussions that didn't result in any changes:

I'd be very keen to get this ability in ledger.
