Good to know

When is my return due?

April 30 for most people. If you or your spouse or common-law partner is self-employed, the return is due June 15, but any tax owing is still due April 30.

I have income or property outside Canada. What do I report?

Canadian residents report their worldwide income. If the total cost of your foreign property was more than $100,000 at any time in the year, you also file a T1135. See foreign property reporting.

I'm new to Canada. Do I need to file?

In most cases, yes. Your first return covers the part of the year after you became a resident. Filing every year also keeps benefits such as the GST/HST credit and the Canada Child Benefit coming.
