Tax Deadline 2009, Another Rate Drop and Weekend Reading – April 24, 2009
Tax Deadline 2009 (tax year 2008)
A quick reminder that the deadline (for Canadians) to file personal income tax for tax year 2008 is April 30, 2009. If you have a small business, the deadline to file is June 15, 2009. If you owe CRA money (like me), the deadline to pay is April 30, 2009.
Prime has fallen again!
The Bank of Canada has dropped interest rates by another 0.25% and the big banks have dropped prime accordingly (2.25%). According to their press release, BOC plans to keep rates low deep into 2010. Does this news affect if you’re going fixed for variable? For me, it gives me a little comfort in holding onto my discounted variable rate until it expires in 2 years time.
