# My tax year: your next CRA dates

> Choose employee, self-employed, business owner or investor and see the CRA dates coming up in the next 12 months, with weekends adjusted.

My tax year on Tax-Services.ca lists the CRA dates that apply to you over the next 12 months. For most people the filing deadline is 30 April. If you or your spouse or common-law partner are self-employed, the filing date is 15 June, but any tax owing is still due 30 April. Pick the description closest to yours below. No sign-up is needed, no personal details are asked for, and your pick stays on this device.

## Why do the dates differ by situation?

The dates differ because they depend on how you earn your income. Employees mostly deal with one deadline, 30 April. If you run a business or work for yourself, the filing date moves to 15 June, but the tax you owe is still due 30 April, which trips up plenty of people every June. Instalments and payroll remittances add more dates through the year. The CRA's [due dates and payment dates page for personal income tax](https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/tax/individuals/topics/important-dates-individuals.html) lists the filing and payment deadlines.

## Which situations can you choose?

You can choose between four situations, and the list changes to match.

- Employee: when employers send out tax slips, the RRSP contribution deadline, and the dates to file and pay.

- Self-employed: the later filing date, the payment date and any instalments the CRA asked you to pay.

- Small business owner with staff: the monthly payroll source deductions due for the previous month.

- Saver or investor: the RRSP contribution deadline, the filing and payment dates and any instalments.

## What if a date falls on a weekend?

The CRA treats a due date that lands on a Saturday or Sunday as the next business day, and the list above already does that. Holidays are not modelled, so double-check the exact day on the [Canada Revenue Agency](https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency.html) site if a date sits close to one.

Dates for 2027 are starting to be set. Our article on the [NETFILE closing date for 2027](https://tax-services.ca/articles/netfile-closing-date-2027) shows when online filing closes, and the [2027 tax calendar](https://tax-services.ca/tax-calendar-2027) lists the rest.
