  • Filing your taxes on time ensures you receive every credit and deduction you’re owed.
  • If you’re owed money, not filing a return means you could be missing out on a refund.
  • Skipping any tax year could pause eligible benefit payments such as the GST/HST Credit or Canada Child Benefit payment.
  • If you owe money, avoid late fees, penalties or interest when you file on time.

The deadline to file your 2024 income tax return is April 30, 2025. If you’re self-employed your taxes are due on June 16, 2025. However, it's important to note that any amount due must still be paid by April 30, 2025. To avoid late-payment penalties, it's recommended that you prepare your tax return well in advance of April 30th if you have self-employment income.

It can take 2 to 3 weeks to receive a refund when you transmit your return via NETFILE. For mailed returns, refunds are mailed out in 4 to 6 weeks following receipt of the return by the CRA or the Revenu Quebec. However, when you file with us you could get your refund instantly.

If you’re a resident of Canada for any part of the year and are earning income, whether that’s employment, self-employment, investment, or other income, you're subject to Canadian income tax. There are no exemptions for age or occupation.

The CRA requires that you retain your records for a minimum of 6 years, by law. You can ask to amend your tax return for up to the previous 10 years, so it’s a good idea to maintain your records for that long.
