In British and Irish tradition, the quarter days were the four dates in each year on which servants were hired, school terms started, and rents were due.

Original dates; Lady Day (25 March); Midsummer Day (24 June); Michaelmas (29 September); Christmas (25 December)

The British tax year still starts on "Old" Lady Day; 6 April under the Gregorian calendar corresponded to 25 March under the Julian calendar (the eleven days the new-style calendar advanced in 18th century plus one day due to the twelfth skipped Julian leap day in 1800).

From Wikipedia, thank you.
