I just chose to do it this way. It's easy and you can replace the 09,30 with whatever you want your fiscal year end to be. Not sure if this works in anything but SQL Server though.

CASE 
    WHEN CAST(GETDATE() AS DATE) > 
         SMALLDATETIMEFROMPARTS(DATEPART(YEAR,GETDATE()),09,30,00,000) 
    THEN 
        DATEPART(YEAR,GETDATE()) + 1 ELSE DATEPART(YEAR,GETDATE()) 
    END AS FY
