Missing a filing date is one of the most avoidable costs a business faces. Interest and penalties add up quickly, and they are rarely refundable. The dates below are the ones we remind clients about most often. Always confirm the current year's specifics with us, as dates can shift when they fall on a weekend or holiday.
Personal income tax
Most individuals file by April 30. If you or your spouse are self-employed, the filing deadline moves to June 15 — but any balance owing is still due April 30, so it usually pays to file early.
Corporate income tax
A corporation's T2 return is generally due six months after its fiscal year-end, while any balance owing is typically due two or three months after year-end depending on the corporation. Planning ahead avoids a surprise payment.
Payroll remittances
Source deductions are remitted on a schedule set by your remitter type — often monthly, by the 15th of the following month. Larger employers may remit more frequently.
HST
Your HST filing frequency (annual, quarterly, or monthly) determines both the return and payment dates. We help set the frequency that best matches your cash flow.
The simplest way to never miss a deadline is to let us track them for you — we build a filing calendar around your specific year-end and remitter type.
