Corporations
Revenu Québec is extending the income tax return filing deadline for certain corporations to September 1, 2020.
This new relief measure is for corporations that would have otherwise been required to file their income tax return between June 1 and August 31, 2020 (corporations whose taxation year ended between November 29, 2019, and February 29, 2020).
