Corporate tax returns and refunds - remember to file your corporation’s tax return no later than three years after the end of the tax year
Date: 21 Oct 2011
If your corporation is expecting a tax refund or is claiming a dividend refund, remember to file your corporation’s tax return no later than three years after the end of the tax year in order to receive it. Under the Income Tax Act, if a return is not filed within three years of the end of the taxation year, the related refund or dividend refund is no longer available. The provisions that allow the Canada Revenue Agency the discretion to issue refunds to individuals and testamentary trusts after the three year limit if the return is filed within 10 years of the year-end, do not apply to corporations.
