Payment due dates

Most GST/HST payments are due at the same time as your GST/HST returns. For detailed information, see Filing your returns on time.

If you have to pay equal quarterly instalments, they are due no later than one month after the last day of each fiscal quarter.

If you are an individual with business income for income tax purposes who is also an annual filer with a December 31 fiscal year-end, you have to file your GST/HST return by June 15. However, you still have to pay your net GST/HST owing by April 30 to avoid penalties and interest.

When a due date falls on a Saturday, a Sunday, or a public holiday, we consider your payment to be paid on time if we receive it on the next business day.

Note
If you claim a refund on a return but have not filed all your previous returns or have not remitted all the GST/HST from previous reporting periods, you will not receive your refund as we will:

  • reduce the amounts you owe us with your refund; or
  • hold your refund until all your outstanding returns are filed.
