Important deadlines for 2024

FEBRUARY 29
RRSP contribution deadline
The final date for your RRSP contributions to be eligible for the 2023 tax year is February 29, 2024. Refer to your Notice of Assessment (NOA) or access My Account information on the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) website for your total RRSP contribution limit for the 2023 tax year.

APRIL 30
Tax filing deadline for individuals

The deadline to file your 2023 personal income tax return is April 30, 2024, unless you're self‑employed. However, the CRA encourages individuals who expect to receive benefits under the GST Credit or the Canada Child Benefit not to delay the filing of their tax return to ensure their entitlements for the 2024-25 benefit year are properly determined.

JUNE 17
Tax filing deadline for self-employed individuals
The deadline to file your 2023 taxes is June 17, 2024 if you're self‑employed. Any tax balance owing, however, is still due April 30, 2024.
