Tax relief and support for businesses affected by tariffs


On March 21, 2025, the Government of Canada announced actions to support workers and businesses affected by tariffs.

To support businesses, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) will:

  • Defer GST/HST remittances and corporate income tax payments from April 2 to June 30, 2025.
  • Waive interest on GST/HST and T2 instalment and arrears payments that are required to be paid between April 2 and June 30, 2025.
  • Provide interest relief on existing GST/HST and T2 balances between April 2 and June 30, 2025.

Note: Interest will resume starting July 1, 2025.
