Quick answer: Your T2 corporate return is due six months after your fiscal year-end (December files by June, March by September); the table covers all twelve months. The tax payment is generally due earlier, so “when is my T2 due” is two questions, and our T2 deadline guide and calculator answer both.
If your year-end is close, what a year end actually involves is worth reading before you settle on a month.
Your filing month follows your year-end; your payment deadline follows neither. Ask us to check both.

Where a deadline lands on a weekend or holiday the CRA’s adjustment rules apply. See the deadlines page. A year-end on a day other than month-end shifts the arithmetic accordingly. For T2 dates beyond the filing month, including the balance-due date and instalments, the deadlines page lists this year’s.
The payment comes before the paperwork
The six-month filing window lulls people: the balance owing is generally due earlier, and interest runs from that date. The T2 deadline guide explains which deadline applies, and the calculator gives both dates from your year-end.
Choosing a year-end, if you still can
A new corporation’s first year-end sets this clock permanently and decides whether filing season hits your busy season. See choosing your corporate year-end: a five-minute decision that deserves ten.
What we do with this
Clients’ deadlines are tracked from their year-end — filing, payment and instalments, so none of these dates is the owner’s job to remember. That is most of what “year-round” means: send an enquiry and stop carrying the calendar in your head.
