I’m getting an error when running this query: SELECT ’06/30/’ + CASE WHEN GETDATE()

I’m getting an error when running this query:

SELECT '06/30/' + 
 CASE WHEN GETDATE() BETWEEN Cast('1/01/' + YEAR(GETDATE()) + ' 12:01:01' As DateTime) And Cast('6/30/' + YEAR(GETDATE()) + ' 12:01:01' as DateTime)
      THEN CAST(
           YEAR(DATEADD(YY, 2, GETDATE())) AS VARCHAR(4))
      WHEN GETDATE() BETWEEN Cast('7/01/' + YEAR(GETDATE()) + ' 12:01:01' As DateTime) And Cast('12/31/' + YEAR(GETDATE()) + ' 12:01:01' as DateTime)
      THEN CAST(
           YEAR(DATEADD(YY, 3, GETDATE())) AS VARCHAR(4))
      END
      AS DateEnding FOR XML RAW

Conversion failed when converting the varchar value '1/01/' to data type int.

    You need to CAST or CONVERT your YEAR(GETDATE()) to varchar(4) when trying to combine it with text, otherwise, it attempts to convert the text to an int instead.

    SELECT '06/30/' + 
 CASE WHEN GETDATE() BETWEEN Cast('1/01/' + CAST(YEAR(GETDATE()) AS VARCHAR(4)) + ' 12:01:01' As DateTime) And Cast('6/30/' + CAST(YEAR(GETDATE()) AS VARCHAR(4)) + ' 12:01:01' as DateTime)
      THEN CAST(
           YEAR(DATEADD(YY, 2, GETDATE())) AS VARCHAR(4))
      WHEN GETDATE() BETWEEN Cast('7/01/' + CAST(YEAR(GETDATE()) AS VARCHAR(4)) + ' 12:01:01' As DateTime) And Cast('12/31/' + CAST(YEAR(GETDATE()) AS VARCHAR(4)) + ' 12:01:01' as DateTime)
      THEN CAST(
           YEAR(DATEADD(YY, 3, GETDATE())) AS VARCHAR(4))
      END
      AS DateEnding FOR XML RAW
