TORONTO — Travel agencies and independent travel advisors are among those eligible for temporary financial relief amid the tariff war, says ACTA.

The association has confirmed that effective from April 2 until June 30, 2025, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) will defer GST/HST remittances and corporate income tax payments as part of new measures designed to assist workers and businesses – including travel agencies and independent travel advisors – impacted by recent tariffs.

In addition, the CRA will 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. Interest charges will resume on July 1, 2025.

Travel agencies and advisors are being reminded that they must continue to file their GST/HST and T2 returns by the established deadlines to ensure compliance with all filing requirements.
