# Deadline reminders: never meet a CRA date by accident again

Updated 2 October 2026

**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](https://www.everstonecpa.com/cra-tax-deadlines) and [calendar feed](https://www.everstonecpa.com/calendar/canadian-tax-deadlines.ics).

What this covers, at a glance.

## 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](https://www.everstonecpa.com/privacy) 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](https://www.everstonecpa.com/year-end-filing-months), GST/HST follows [your filing frequency](https://www.everstonecpa.com/gst-filing-deadlines), and [instalments](https://www.everstonecpa.com/blog/corporate-tax-installments-canada) 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](https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/tax/businesses/topics/corporations/corporation-payments/paying-instalments.html) schedule and [filing frequency](https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/forms-publications/publications/rc4022.html). That is the difference between a reminder list and [an accountant](https://www.everstonecpa.com/book-online).

A reminder helps only if the filing behind it is ready, which is the part [someone tracking the deadlines with you](https://www.everstonecpa.com/tax-services) covers.

Prefer a monthly summary over date-by-date alerts? [The Tax Memo](https://www.everstonecpa.com/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](https://www.everstonecpa.com/book-online).

## 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 →](https://www.everstonecpa.com/quick-question)

**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](https://www.everstonecpa.com/gst-filing-deadlines#gst-calendar-2026).

## Got a letter you’d rather not face alone?

Send it over before you respond. A CPA reads it, tells you what it actually asks, and what to send — free.
