Due dates and payment dates
If you file your taxes electronically by March 15, 2024, you should receive your next Canada Carbon Rebate (CCR) payment (formerly known as the Climate action incentive payment) on April 15, 2024. If you file after March 15, 2024, generally, you can expect to get your CCR payment 6-8 weeks after your tax return has been assessed.
Filing dates for 2023 taxes
- Feb 29 2024: Deadline to contribute to an RRSP, a PRPP, or an SPP
- Apr 30, 2024 : Deadline to file your taxes
- Jun 15, 2024: Deadline to file your taxes if you or your spouse or common-law partner are self-employed
Payment date for 2023 taxes
- Apr 30, 2024: Deadline to pay your taxes
For most people, the 2023 return has to be filed on or before April 30, 2024, and payment is due April 30, 2024.
File your return early or before the due date to avoid being charged interest and penalties and to prevent a disruption to your benefit and credit payments, such as:
- GST/HST credit, including any related provincial or territorial credits
- Canada child benefit (CCB), including related provincial or territorial payments
- Old age security (OAS) benefits
Self-employed persons
If you or your spouse or common-law partner carried on a business in 2023 with business expenditures:
- relating mostly to a tax shelter investment, your 2023 return must be filed by April 30, 2024
- other than those relating mostly to a tax shelter investment, your 2023 return must be filed by June 15, 2024
However, if you have a balance owing for 2023, you must pay it on or before April 30, 2024.
For more information on how to make your payment, see Payments to the CRA.
Exception to the due date
When a due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or public holiday recognized by the CRA, your return is considered on time if the CRA receives it, or if it is postmarked, on or before the next business day.
Your payment is considered on time if it is received on the first business day after the due date. For more information, see Due dates and payment dates.
Deceased persons
If you are filing a return for a deceased person or their surviving spouse or common-law partner, the due date may be different. For more information, see Guide T4011, Preparing Returns for Deceased Persons.
