GST and HST FILING DEADLINES

Quarterly payment installments
For individuals and corporations required to make quarterly installment payments, the deadlines are March 15, June 15, September 15, and December 15.

When it comes to GST/HST returns, filing and payment deadlines depend on the business’ GST/HST filing window.

If it’s a monthly or quarterly reporting window, the deadline is 1 month after the reporting period ends.

If it’s annual, the deadline is 3 months after reporting. If it’s annual with a calendar year-end, the deadline is June 15, with payment due by April 30.

These returns must be filed, even if you don’t have any business transactions. Once the returns have been filed, the CRA will share a prescribed form if you owe GST/HST for the reporting period. This can be used to pay any outstanding amounts.
