Here are two tips for meeting the right tax deadline for you:
- For people filing a personal tax return, the deadline is April 30, although there is no penalty for filing late if you do not owe money.
- If you were self-employed in 2012, you and your spouse have until June 15 to file your return, but if you owe tax the interest starts accruing on May 1. If you did contract work and did not get a T4, you might be considered self-employed.
Make sure you know which deadline applies to you and try not to procrastinate too much longer.
