Tax relief and support for businesses in response to tariffs
On March 21, 2025, the Government of Canada announced actions to support workers and businesses in response to tariffs.
Tax relief and support
To support businesses, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) will:
- Defer GST/HST remittances and corporate income tax payments from April 2 to June 30, 2025
- Waive interest on GST/HST and T2 instalment and arrears payments that are required to be paid between April 2 and June 30, 2025
- Provide interest relief on existing GST/HST and T2 balances between April 2 and June 30, 2025
You do not need to provide proof of hardship from or impact of tariffs. The CRA will automatically grant relief on your T2 and GST/HST accounts during the relief period.
Note: Interest will resume starting July 1, 2025.
Reminder to file
You must continue to file any GST/HST returns or T2 returns by their due dates to remain compliant with filing requirements.
