Where do I file Northwest Territories income tax and payroll tax?

NWT personal and corporation income tax use CRA. Territorial payroll tax is a separate GNWT employer process. For sales tax, the NWT uses GST without a general territorial sales tax.

Where to begin

  1. Use the NWT personal-income-tax page and CRA’s package for the year being filed; federal and territorial personal tax share one CRA return.
  2. For corporation income tax, follow CRA’s NWT schedules and account route.
  3. If employing people who work in the NWT, check GNWT’s payroll-tax registration and remittance instructions separately.
  4. Use CRA for GST questions and confirm transaction-specific sales rules before charging tax.
  5. Keep GNWT payroll-tax reporting and payment records separate from CRA income-tax and payroll-deduction records.

Before you open the official service

  • Tax year and personal or corporate filing task
  • Employee work locations if asking about payroll
  • Relevant CRA and GNWT records

Keep your actual documents and account details off this website. Use the official service’s current checklist before applying.

What to check for your situation

Territorial payroll tax is not the same as personal income tax or federal payroll deductions. This map does not determine whether an employer or worker is subject to it.

Fees, processing times and document rules can change. This page helps you navigate; it does not confirm eligibility or replace the government’s instructions.
