Canadian Accountants and Tax Season

Accountants are prepared for long hours during tax season. At the peak of the season, it is not unusual to work 60 or 70 hours a week. This can be from January right through to April, and understandably high-stress levels can have an effect both emotionally and physically for all accountants, whether seasoned or new or as they build a more extensive clientele.

A.M.I. CPA Professional Corporation is a full-service accounting firm based in Oakville, Ontario, offering a broad range of accounting services to meet the needs of businesses, entrepreneurs, and individuals in Oakville & The GTA.

The professional team avoids burnout during the busy season by delegating services and work. Utilizing accounting software and offering our  Secure Client Portal to our clients for downloading necessary tax information and documents makes time management and automation much more manageable.

Personal Tax Deadlines

Filing your tax return is due in 2023 by June 15th; however, if money is owed, the deadline would be April 30th, but because that falls on a Sunday, they can be paid on Monday, May 1st, without penalty.

Corporate Tax Deadlines

Corporate tax returns are filed by the last day of the month, six months after the end of your fiscal year. If the last day of the tax year does not fall on the last day of a month, the return is filed by the same day of the sixth month after the end of the tax year.

If there is corporate tax income owing, then payments must be made no later than three months after the end of the tax year.
