Public holidays
There are a number of dates during the year when specific forms or returns are due to be filed, or certain payments or remittances are due to be paid.
When a due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or public holiday recognized by the CRA, your payment is considered on time if the CRA receives it on or before the next business day. Note that several provinces and territories have their own unique holidays. Therefore, due dates may be affected depending on where you reside.
For more information, go to Due dates and payment dates, Important dates for corporations, or Get ready to file.
