CRA deadline checklist
Pick your business type, year-end and GST/HST filing frequency and get your year of CRA deadlines: T1 or T2, GST/HST returns, payroll remittances and T4/T5 dates.
Most CRA deadlines are not single national dates — they hang off your business type, your fiscal year-end and how often you file GST/HST. Tell the checklist those three things and it builds your year: income tax, GST/HST returns, payroll remittances for a regular remitter, and the February information-return deadline.
| Date | Deadline |
|---|
Dates that fall on a Saturday or Sunday are shown on the next business day, per the CRA's rule (look for the “weekend rule” badge). A date that falls on a CRA-recognized public holiday moves the same way — check the CRA's own pages for holiday shifts. Instalment payments (corporate tax, GST/HST for annual filers, personal tax) fall between these dates and are not listed.
