Certain employers offering registered pension plans must remit GST/HST and QST by January 31, 2026, under the pension plan rules. This requirement generally applies to employers with monthly or quarterly GST/HST reporting periods and a December 31 year-end. Pension entities and master pension entities may also face upcoming GST/HST and QST deadlines. These entities should review their selected listed financial institution (SLFI) status, prepare to file annual GST/HST and QST returns by June 30, 2026, and claim any eligible pension entity rebates.

Tax authorities continue to regularly review and audit the GST/HST and QST obligations under the pension plan rules. Your KPMG advisor can help review the application of these rules to your organization and pension structures.
