Government Extends Tax Deadline in COVID-19 Economic Response Plan
– ratesupermarket.ca

In ever-evolving circumstances, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has announced an $82-billion stimulus package to help Canadians and businesses amid the COVID-19 pandemic. These measures aim to stabilize the economy and support Canadians facing hardships.
The announcement comes as part of Canada’s COVID-19 Economic Response Plan: Support for Canadians and Businesses, which highlights relief efforts.
What Does This Mean for Taxpayers?
To support Canadians during the COVID-19 outbreak, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) will defer the tax filing deadline for individuals and certain trusts.
New return filing due dates:
Individuals: June 1, 2020
Trusts with a taxation year ending on December 31, 2019: May 1, 2020
However, the CRA does encourage “individuals who expect to receive benefits under the [Goods and Services Tax Credit (GSTC)] or the Canada Child Benefit not to delay the filing of their return to ensure their entitlements for the 2020-21 benefit year are properly determined.”
Deferral of Income Tax Payments

– ratesupermarket.ca

Most credit card companies allow their cardholders to add an authorized user to their account – but why would you want to? There are various benefits; for example, you can kickstart your child’s credit history or provide a helping hand to a friend in a financial crisis. While these benefits appear fantastic, hold the phone before you call up your credit card company! Before you add an authorized user to your account, there are some risks to consider too.
What Is an Authorized User?
An authorized user is an individual who uses someone else’s credit card in their name. Authorized users can use the credit card as if it was their own, but they aren’t the primary account holder. Authorized users don’t have the authority to increase credit limits, add more authorized users, or perform any other administrative activities.
What Are the Benefits?
Adding an authorized user has benefits for both the primary account holder and the secondary cardholder. Sometimes both parties can benefit from shared card perks, which can be particularly great on fee cards…
