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.
These actions were in effect until June 30, 2025.
Tax relief and support
To support businesses, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA):
- Deferred GST/HST remittances and corporate income tax payments from April 2 to June 30, 2025
- Waived interest on GST/HST and T2 instalment and arrears payments that were required to be paid between April 2 and June 30, 2025
- Provided interest relief on existing GST/HST and T2 balances between April 2 and June 30, 2025
You did not need to provide proof of hardship from or impact of tariffs. The CRA automatically granted relief on your T2 and GST/HST accounts during the relief period.
Note: Interest resumed 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.
