Due date

You have to file a T5 information return by the last day of February following the calendar year to which the information return applies. When a due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or a public holiday recognized by the CRA, your return is considered on time if we receive it or if it is postmarked on or before the next business day. Note that several provinces and territories have their own unique holidays. Therefore, due dates and payment dates may be affected depending on where you reside.
