What are the GST deadlines?

When is my GST filing deadline and when do I have to pay it?

There are four different types of GST filers and each has different deadlines for filing and submitting payment. 

Types of GST filers:

  1. Annual corporations: If your annual sales are less than $1.5 million, the filing and payment deadline is three months after the reporting period. Corporations can choose any month of the year as their year-end. Their 12-month year would be the reporting period. 
  2. Annual sole proprietors: The filing deadline is June 15, but the payment deadline is April 30.
  3. Quarterly: You must file quarterly if your sales are between $1.5 million and $6 million. The filing and payment deadline is one month after the reporting period.
  4. Monthly: Sales over $6 million require monthly filing. The filing and payment deadline is one month after the reporting period.
