The deadline for sending us your personal income tax return is April 30. If you or your spouse operated a business or earned income as a person responsible for a family-type resource or an intermediate resource, you have until June 15 to file your return. However, if the deadline falls on a Saturday or Sunday, it is extended to the next business day.

Payment

Any balance due must by paid by April 30 or the next business day if April 30 is a Saturday or Sunday. After the deadline, we will charge interest on the unpaid balance.

Penalty

Even if you cannot pay the full amount due, file your return by the deadline to avoid a late-filing penalty.

Processing of your income tax return

Since we start processing returns at the beginning of March, wait until the beginning of April before contacting us for information, even if you filed your return in January. If you file your return after March 31, wait four weeks before contacting us.

You can track the status of your income tax return in My Account for individuals.

How long do we have to review your return?

When we receive your income tax return, we carry out a cursory review and send you a notice of assessment.

We generally have three years from the date of the notice of assessment to carry out a more in-depth review and, if necessary, issue a notice of reassessment (interest will be calculated on any balance owing at that time). You must keep all documents (paper or electronic) substantiating the information provided in your return (RL slips, information slips, receipts and supporting documents), as we may ask for them if such a review is carried out.
