Is the deadline extended for HST and Source Deductions?

Update: March 27 2020

As per the CRA, GST/HST Payments can now be deferred until June 30 2020. We suggest businesses attempt to stay current however, it is just a deferral and it can be difficult to make up the payments later on. Please note this deferral does not apply to Source Deductions and other regular remittances which are still due on their regular deadlines. If you cannot make payments on time please reach out to the government to work out a payment plan and at least file on time to avoid late filing fees.
