Howto make a variable to calculate quarters regarding year changes?

So I have the following variable definition:

var1:     =Year(today())&ceil(month(today())/3)

Using this variable I get '20143', which is what I expect.

When I subtract something from this number like 1, to get the last quarter I now currently get '20142', which is fine now, but will fail from January to March each year. For example in January 2015 I'd want to get '20144' as a result, but I will get '20150'.

What would be the correct way to go about that? I also want to be able to subtract any other integer to get the appropriate quarter.
