Canadian Tax Deadlines in 2025

Happy New Year! We’re half a century past the millenium now… Welcome to 2025!

Here’s a quick overview of important dates for Canadian tax filing in 2025:

February 19, 2025 - NETFILE opens

You can technically start filing taxes online on this day, but most people won’t have all of their tax documents and receipts lined up just yet.

February 29, 2025 - Due date for T4s from employers

If you were employed by a company (ie. you’re not a self-employed contractor) they should be sending you a T4 on or before this date.

March 1, 2025 - RRSP contribution deadline

Worried about retirement? Worried about paying too much in taxes? You have until this day to make a contribution to your retirement fund and have it reduce your taxable income for 2024.

April 30, 2025 - Tax filing deadline / Tax payments due

Make sure your taxes are done on time! Preferably before this date to avoid penalties. Any balances owed to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) are due on this day.

June 16, 2025 - Self-employed tax filing deadline
