Filing frequencies & due dates

Filing frequencies

After you registered your business, we sent you a packet of information. In this packet there is a welcome letter with your:

  • Account ID
  • Filing frequency (monthly, quarterly, annual)

Filing frequencies are assigned based on what you estimate for your yearly business income.


Due dates

  • Monthly returns are due the 25th of every month. (e.g. The June tax return is due July 25.)
  • Quarterly returns are due the end of the month following the tax quarter. (e.g. The Quarter 1 (Jan, Feb, Mar) tax return is due April 30.)
  • Annual returns are due April 15. (e.g. The Annual 2019 tax return is due April 15, 2020)

If the due date falls on a weekend or legal holiday, the due date is extended to the next business day.


Annual business filers

For your convenience, we’ve compiled all of the helpful information, links, and resources that you’ll need to complete your annual tax return.
