Are you self-employed? Know your tax obligations

Did you know?

As a self-employed individual, you and your spouse or common-law partner have until midnight on Wednesday, June 15, 2016, to file your 2015 income tax and benefit returns. Any balance owing for 2015 must be paid by April 30, 2016. However, as this date is a Saturday, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) will consider your payment to be made on time if the CRA receives your submission or it is postmarked by midnight on May 2, 2016. A late-filing penalty on amounts owing may apply to returns received after the June 15 deadline.
