The personal income tax filing deadline has been extended to June 1, 2020. Important Note: The Federal Government is temporarily extending GST/HST and CCB payments until the end of September 2020 for those who are not able to file their 2019 tax returns on time. GIS and Allowance payments will also continue if seniors' 2019 income information has not been assessed. To avoid an interruption in benefits, seniors are encouraged to submit their 2019 income information by October 1, 2020. Find information and resources about filing your taxes yourself from the Government of Canada, including links to certified tax software online.
