Important deadlines for 2026
MARCH 2
RRSP contribution deadline
The final date for your RRSP contributions to be eligible for the 2025 tax year is March 2, 2026. 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 2025 tax year.
APRIL 30
Tax filing deadline for individuals
The deadline to file your 2025 personal income tax return is April 30, 2026, 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 2026-27 benefit year are properly determined.
JUNE 15
Tax filing deadline for self-employed individuals
The deadline to file your 2025 taxes is June 15, 2026 if you're self‑employed. Any tax balance owing, however, is still due April 30, 2026.
