The federal government has pushed back the tax deadline to help Canadians during the COVID outbreak — but the move has led to some confusion.
H & R Block franchise owner in Dauphin, Gloria Austin-Epp, is now trying to clear up any misconceptions.
“We are finding a lot of confusion with people thinking the tax deadline has been extended to September 1st. That is incorrect. The tax deadline is June 1st. If you owe revenue Canada, the payment is due September 1st.”
Gloria says anyone who still needs to do their taxes and call H & R Block, as the filing deadline is now about a week and a half away.
She says it’s especially important to have your taxes done at this time, as many federal assistance programs require an up-to-date file with the CRA.
In-person services are currently suspended at H & R Block, but Parkland residents are still able to drop off their paperwork.
"The tax deadline is June 1st. If you owe revenue Canada, the payment is due September 1st."
