excel - How can I fix this code so VarYear outputs the correct number in VBA?

Question

I have the below code that I am trying to have VarYear equal 2021 if the current date is before October 1 and 2022 if the date is after October 1. Here is my code:

Dim NowDate As Variant
Dim NowYear As Var
    NowDate = Date
    NowYear = Year(NowDate)
Dim VarYear As Variant
If NowYear < 10 / 1 Then
    VarYear = NowYear
ElseIf NowYear >= 10 / 1 Then
    VarYear = NowYear + 1
End If

I know it probably has something to do with not assigning the variables correctly but I have troubleshot a couple things with no solution.

Answer 1

Or a slightly more general approach using Month:

If Month(Date) < 10 Then
   VarYear = Year(Date)
Else
   VarYear = Year(Date) + 1
End If
