Filing Deadlines

Filing Deadlines for Various Entities is a practical, comprehensive course designed to help accounting and tax professionals clearly understand and manage the wide range of tax filing deadlines that apply across Canada’s self-assessment system. This course examines filing requirements for individuals, self-employed taxpayers, corporations, trusts, partnerships, and GST/HST registrants. Participants will review key due dates for T1, T2, T3, and T5013 returns, payment deadlines for balances owing, installment requirements, and reporting obligations for beneficiaries and partners. The program also addresses special situations such as deceased taxpayers, late-filed elections, corporate adjustments, voluntary disclosures, and expanded trust reporting rules. Rather than focusing only on memorizing dates, the course emphasizes practical application. Learners will develop a structured understanding of how filing timelines interact with payment obligations, penalty exposure, interest calculations, and professional risk. Real-world scenarios help clarify how missed deadlines can affect clients and how proactive systems can reduce compliance issues. Delivered fully online and self paced, the course includes clear video instruction supported by downloadable reference materials, practical case studies, and knowledge checks to reinforce understanding. It is designed to be flexible and low stress, allowing professionals to progress at their own pace while building confidence in managing filing compliance across multiple entity types. This course forms part of the Canadian Tax Mastery Certificate, the Tax Dispute Resolution & CRA Interaction Certificate, and the Tax Ethics, Policy, and Legal Framework Certificate, contributing toward broader expertise in Canadian tax compliance and professional responsibility.
