REGINA – If your business was directly impacted by the flooding that hit Saskatchewan earlier this month, you can apply for relief from penalty and interest charges for late tax returns.
“As in the past, we want to be flexible in instances where tax returns are filed late because of flooding,” Finance Minister Ken Krawetz said.
