April 30 deadline for payment of 2018 individual income taxes

All payments of individual income tax owed for the 2018 taxation year must be received by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) on or before Tuesday April 30, 2019.

There are a number of means by which payments of tax owed for 2018 can be made, including online banking, through the CRA’s My Payment online service, through pre-authorized debit, by credit card, by PayPal, or by Interac e-Transfer. Payments can also be made, for a fee, through third-party service providers. Finally, payment can be made in person at a financial institution or a Canada Post Outlet, or by cheque sent to the CRA.

Details of the various available payment methods, and the requirements for each, are outlined on the CRA website at https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/make-a-payment-canada-revenue-agency/make-payment/general-payment.html.
