The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) reminds self-employed individuals and
their spouses or common-law partners that this year, the June 15 filing
deadline has been extended to midnight on Monday, June 17, 2013,
as June 15 falls on a Saturday. However, if you had an outstanding
balance for 2012, it had to be paid on or before April 30, 2013, to
avoid interest charges. A late-filing penalty on amounts owing will
apply to returns received after the June 17 deadline.
The CRA invites you to join the growing number of Canadians who are
filing electronically. NETFILE is one of the CRA’s electronic tax-filing
options. NETFILE allows you to file your individual income tax and
benefit return over the Internet quickly and easily, which means a
faster refund. For a list of software and Web service options, including
those that are free of charge, go to www.netfile.gc.ca/software.
If you have a balance owing, you can make your payment using your
financial institution's telephone or Internet banking services. For more
information about online payments, go to www.cra.gc.ca/payments or contact your financial institution.
You can also make your payment using the CRA’s My Payment
service. My Payment lets you make one or more payments in one simple
online transaction. You can use this service if you have access to
online banking at a participating financial institution. You can also
sign up for direct deposit
to receive your refund in your account at your Canadian financial
institution – no more waiting for cheques to arrive in the mail.
Save time – go online! The CRA’s online services make it faster and
easier to handle your business’s tax matters. You, your employee, or
your representative can file, pay, and access detailed information about
your tax accounts--all online, all at your fingertips. To learn more
about the CRA’s electronic services for businesses, go to: www.cra.gc.ca/businessonline.
