The two dates people get wrong

The balance is due before the return. A CCPC claiming the small business deduction pays the balance three months after year end, but does not have to file until six months after. Interest starts running at the three-month mark on money you have not calculated yet. That is why a rough estimate in month two is worth doing.

T4 and T5 slips run on the calendar year, not your fiscal year. They are due the last day of February following the calendar year the payments were made, whatever your year end is. Businesses with an off-calendar year end miss this one regularly.
