The Due Date For A Personal Income Tax Return

Personal income tax returns, except for those of self-employed individuals, are due by April 30th, as is any amount owing. Penalties and interest may be charged for late returns or late payments.

If you are filing online, Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) allows a grace period for taxpayers who may experience delays in submitting their return online.

Self-employed individuals have until June 15th to file their personal tax returns, but any amounts owing must still be paid by April 30th.

When the filing due date falls on a Saturday or Sunday or a public holiday, tax returns received by Canada Revenue Agency or postmarked by midnight on the next business day will be considered to have been filed on time. Many CRA offices stay open until midnight on the personal income tax return filing due date to accept returns.
