The clock is ticking...
Filing deadline approaches for self-employed individuals

Did you know...

If you or your spouse or common-law partner operated a business in 2004, you have until midnight on June 15, 2005 to file your income tax return. If you had a balance owing for 2004, it had to have been paid on or before May 2, 2005 to avoid interest. A late-filing penalty on amounts owing will apply to returns received or postmarked after June 15, 2005. You have the choice of filing either electronically or on paper.
