Getting started

The deadline for most Canadians to file this return is Tuesday April 30, 2024

 

If you or your spouse or common-law partner are self-employed, you have until June 15, 2024, to file on time. Filing your return before the respective deadline will allow you to avoid interruptions to any benefit or credit payments you may be entitled to.

If you have a balance owing, your payment is due on April 30, 2024. Your payment will be considered on time if the CRA receives it, or a Canadian financial institution processes it, on or before May 1, 2024.

 

Also, please note that T4 and T4A slips must be distributed, and T4 and T4A returns must be filed, on or before the last day of February following the calendar year to which the slips apply.  If the last day of February falls on a Saturday or Sunday or public holiday, the tax slips and returns are considered on time if postmarked on the next business day.
