You are using the datepart result (today is the day 24) and subtracting that
many months from now (2003/09) less one more to get a date in 2001/08.

Not sure what you are trying to accomplish.

What part of this is telling it to extract the year 2001 instead of 2003?

select DATEADD(mm,
DATEDIFF(mm,0,dateadd(mm,-1-datepart(day,getdate()),getdate())),0)
