TAX FILING DEADLINES

We know it is difficult to keep track of all the deadlines for CRA. Below are the filing, taxes owing, and installments deadline for common returns.

When the due date falls on a Saturday, a Sunday, or a public holiday recognized by the CRA, the due date becomes the next business day. Please note that several provinces and territories have their own public holidays, therefore, the due date may be affected depending on where you reside.
