The Government of Canada Newfoundland and Labrador would like to announce an extension for tax returns.
To provide continued support to businesses dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic, a further two-month extension of tax return filing deadlines is being provided to August 20, 2020.
All tax returns, with the exception of tax returns required from inter-jurisdictional carriers, falling under the purview of the Revenue Administration Act and Regulations, which would otherwise be due March 20, 2020 to July 31, 2020, are now due August 20, 2020.
The tax returns applicable to this extension include:
• Gasoline Tax
• Carbon Tax
• Health and Post-Secondary Education Tax
• Insurance Companies Tax
• Mining and Mineral Rights Tax
• Tax on Insurance Premiums
• Tobacco Tax
For monthly filers, this means you will have the option to extend the filing and remittance of tax amounts for the February to June 2020 reporting periods to August 20, 2020.
To continue to file during the extension period, you should submit tax returns via email to taxreturn@gov.nl.ca or fax to 709-729-2856.
Please email taxadmin@gov.nl.ca or call 709-729-6297 (toll free 1-877-729-6376) to set up electronic funds transfer, wire payment, or e-file payment options.
If online options are not possible, please submit your returns via mail or by utilizing the drop-off box. The drop-off box is located in the East Block, Confederation Building in St. John’s, and can be accessed via the Employee Entrance at the back of the building nearest to the daycare.
Anyone who avails of the extension and files each of the required returns on or before August 20, 2020, is advised that they must file each of the monthly returns as a separate filing at that time.
