Pick what you are filing to see the statutory filing and payment dates for the 2025 tax year — including the corporate T2 and GST/HST deadlines that count forward from your own fiscal year-end instead of falling on fixed calendar days.
Your filing
How it works. Personal deadlines are fixed calendar dates for the 2025 tax year, filed in spring 2026. Corporate and annual GST/HST deadlines count forward from your fiscal year-end instead: pick the month your 2025 fiscal year ends and the calculator walks the calendar forward — six months for the T2 return, two or three months for its balance, three months for an annual GST/HST return.

How Canada's tax deadlines fit together
For most individuals everything lands on one day: the T1 return and any balance owing are both due April 30, 2026 for the 2025 tax year. Self-employment splits the two — you and your spouse get until June 15, 2026 to file, but the money is still due April 30, and interest runs from May 1 on anything unpaid, so the extra filing time is not extra paying time. Corporations flip the order entirely: the T2 return is due six months after the fiscal year-end, but the balance is due at two months — or three months for many CCPCs claiming the small business deduction — so a corporation routinely pays its tax months before the return that calculates it is filed. GST/HST runs on its own calendar based on the filing frequency CRA assigns: quarterly filers file and pay one month after each quarter ends, and annual filers three months after the fiscal year-end. Missing a filing date with a balance owing is the expensive mistake — the late-filing penalty calculator shows exactly what it costs.
If the calendar above is news rather than review, our personal tax filing service and corporate tax service track every one of these dates for you.
What this calculator does not cover
It shows statutory dates: when one falls on a weekend or public holiday, CRA treats the next business day as on time, and this tool does not roll the dates for you. The annual GST/HST result follows the corporate pattern — sole proprietors who file annually with a December 31 year-end instead follow their T1 dates, filing by June 15 with tax due April 30. It also leaves out the special calendars: trust and deceased-taxpayer returns, information slips, monthly GST/HST filers, and Quebec's separate provincial returns all run on their own dates. For a filing calendar built around your actual entities and year-ends, see our corporate tax service.
