CRA Quick Facts

- The due date for income tax and benefit returns for most Canadians is April 30th.

- From now until April 30, 2020, the CRA will offer extended evening and weekend hours for individual tax inquiries.

The CRA’s automated service will be available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
- Canadians should have most of the tax slips, such as T4s, and receipts needed to file a tax return, by the end of February.
- Taxpayers should file an income tax and benefit return, even if their income is tax-exempt or they have no income because it is the only way to receive benefits and credits to which they may be entitled.
