Return Filing Deadline Extended for Some Corporations and Trusts
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).
In March 2020, Revenu Québec announced that corporations normally required to file their income tax return between March 17 and May 31, 2020, would have until June 1, 2020, to do so. The payment deadline for instalment payments and any income tax balance owing that would otherwise be due between March 17 and August 31, 2020, was extended to September 1, 2020, for both individuals and corporations.
