Quebecers will now have an extension when it comes to filing their taxes.
Eric Girard, the province’s Finance Minister, made the announcement on Tuesday, stating that the government is pushing back the deadline to ease the pressure on Quebecers in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The deadline for Quebecers to file taxes is moved from the usual April 30 to June 1, 2020.
Taxes owed won’t need to be paid until July 31, 2020.

Girard said citizens should still try to file their taxes by April 30, especially those who are expecting a tax return.
Taxes filed before the end of April will be returned on time, he said.
While it is not yet known if the federal government will adopt similar changes, Girard said additional measures to help Quebec businesses will be announced in the “coming days.”
