Deadline reminders: never meet a CRA date by accident again

Updated

Quick answer: Leave your email and we send a short reminder before each CRA deadline that matters to owner-managed businesses: slips, GST/HST, instalments and year-end. Free, one email per deadline, no newsletter, unsubscribe any time. The same dates are on our deadlines page and calendar feed.

What you will get, exactly

  • A short plain-text email a sensible interval before each broadly-applicable CRA deadline — what is due, who it applies to, and the link to the relevant guide.
  • Nothing else. No weekly newsletter, no promotions. The reminder list is the reminder list.

Your address is used for these reminders and nothing else — the privacy policy applies. Unsubscribe by replying “stop”.

Why deadlines get missed by good operators

Because the clocks are unrelated: slips follow the calendar year, the T2 follows your fiscal year, GST/HST follows your filing frequency, and instalments follow last year’s tax. Four clocks, none of them synchronized, none of them reminding you. This page makes at least the broadly-shared ones somebody else’s job to watch.

Client deadlines are tracked personally

These emails cover broadly applicable dates. For client corporations the firm watches their own year-end, instalment schedule and filing frequency. That is the difference between a reminder list and an accountant.

A reminder helps only if the filing behind it is ready, which is the part someone tracking the deadlines with you covers.

Prefer a monthly summary over date-by-date alerts? The Tax Memo is the digest version.

General information, not tax advice. A letter’s own wording and dates govern — confirm anything that affects a decision by sending us an enquiry.

Common questions about deadline reminders

Is this really free, and what is the catch?+
Free, and the catch is transparent: some fraction of people who find the reminders useful eventually want the personal version, which is the paid engagement. The list itself stays free and stays only a list. Ask about your case →
Will you send my corporation’s specific deadlines?+
The free list covers broadly-applicable dates — it cannot know your fiscal year-end or filing frequency. Client corporations have their specific clocks tracked as part of the engagement.
Can I get the dates without giving an email?+
Yes — the deadlines page lists them and the calendar (.ics) feed subscribes your own calendar app to them. The email exists for people who want a push instead of a pull.
How do I unsubscribe?+
Reply “stop” to any reminder, and you are off the list. No link-hunting, no retention flow.
Can I get reminders for upcoming GST due dates?+
Yes. The downloadable calendar carries the quarterly GST/HST dates for calendar-quarter filers and the annual dates for corporations and sole proprietors. Every date for the year is also on the GST calendar for 2026. Ask about your case →
