CRA confused me a bit by saying at first interest is charged after April 30 even though return is not due until June 10.

I wanted to make sure because balance owing is substantial as deceased had a significant amount in an RRSP and it's fully withdrawn without any withholding tax in year of death.

This is from CRA: Filing and payment due dates:

Final return

The due date to file the final return and pay a balance owing is:

• April 30 of the year following the death (if the death occurred between January 1 and October 31 inclusive)
• 6 months following the death, on the same calendar day as the date of death (if the death occurred between November 1 and December 31 inclusive)

…

I called CRA and was told interest is charged after April 30 and then the next sentence he said no interest until June. Which one of CRA's statements is correct?

Example Scenario:
You owe $1,000 in tax.
You file on April 30 (Penalty avoided).
You pay the full amount on May 15.
At a 7% interest rate (for 2026), 15 days of interest on $1,000 is approximately $2.88.
Result: Because $2.88 is less than $25, the CRA will likely never charge you that interest.

Therefore, you can indeed pay later following the above example, but do file by April 30 of each year.

I never heard o' such a thing❗

Guess it goes along with living Waaay Out in the Sticks ... LOL

CRA was gone from that 1 Front Street West address by April 2024.

Federal government sold the Dominion Public Building in 2017.  

Thanks for the update.

Where did the CRA go? Where are they now? Prior to 1 Front Street they used to be in a building on Adelaide Street.

I used to get a T1 General package in the mail every year. Nothing so far this year.
