I am using the formulae: 

myDatetime = Datetime.now(); myDatetimeStr = myDatetime.format('dd/MM/YYYY');

enter image description here

But the values I get are next' year's date.

13:37:40:000 USER_DEBUG "Close Date" : "29/12/2016",

How is that even possible that the : DateTime.now() is so wrong?

Debug logs are even more crazy :-/

Use small y instead of capital Y

Datetime myDatetime = Datetime.now(); String myDatetimeStr = myDatetime.format('dd/MM/yyyy'); system.debug('=========='+myDatetimeStr);

IF you looked into this link

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html

The capital Y merge field is the WEEK YEAR - which from the 27th December 2015 is IN 2016!

The lower case y merge field is the CALENDAR YEAR - which will be 2015 as expected.
