ACTA issued a statement today, indicating that the temporary tax relief measures put in place by the government to assist workers and businesses will apply to travel agencies and independent travel advisors impacted by recent tariffs.

According to the statement, from April 2 until June 30, 2025, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) will defer GST/HST remittances and corporate income tax payments, in a bid to provide financial relief for businesses during this period. 

The CRA will also waive interest on GST/HST and corporate income tax (T2) instalments and arrears payments scheduled between April 2 and June 30, 2025, and provide interest relief on existing GST/HST and T2 balances for this same period. 

The interest charges will resume on July 1, 2025. 

ACTA wishes to remind members that they must continue to file their GST/HST and T2 returns by the established deadlines to ensure compliance with all filing requirements.
