Canada December deadlines
December 31 is the corporate year-end for calendar-year filers, with corporate income tax returns due six months after year-end. Boxing Day creates a four-day closure when it falls midweek. The CRA shuts down certain online filing systems for year-end maintenance in the final week, which pushes T4 prep firmly into the new year.

Canada reporting cycles and business-day rules
Canadian business-day cycles align with the Bank of Canada Lynx high-value clearing window (08:30 to 18:00 Eastern) and Payments Canada AFT files settling next-business-day. CRA monthly remittance schedules vary by employer size: accelerated remitters file three-business-day windows after each pay period, regular remitters file by the 15th of the following month. Canada Day, Labour Day, and Remembrance Day close federal offices but provincial observance varies, so multi-province contracts often default to the federal-only set this calculator implements.
