Expression: "I intend to go to my country later this year."

[Tom]

Hi

Could you please tell me how the use of "later this year" sounds to you in the following sentencs?

[johan]

Hi,

to me it sounds alright but I'd rather say "sometime this year", or if you really want to precise the date: "in/next November or December".

[Tom]

Hi

I would request some moderator to shed some light on this one please.

Hi Tom

Here is another non-moderator comment.

Saying 'later this year' is OK. I would interpret it to mean 'before the end of the year'. It could mean almost any month after now.

Theoretically, you could also say 'late this year', and that would suggest December or possibly November to me.
