Your tax slips, allowable deductions and tax credits checklist
For employed Canadians, the deadline for the taxes is April 30th. Any taxes owed for that year must also be paid by this deadline. Self-employed individuals have until June 15th to submit their returns, but taxes owed are still due by April 30th.
Failure to meet these deadlines may result in accruing interest at prescribed rates and potential penalties. At Zoha Accounting & Tax, we specialize in assisting Canadians with their personal income tax returns, offering comprehensive services tailored to your needs.
