In order to help Albertans struggling with inflation and the high cost of living, the government of Alberta has introduced the Alberta Affordability Payments Program. The program will consist of six monthly payments of $100 to a maximum of $600 per child under 18 (for families) or per person (for seniors). You can apply online through 
Alberta.ca Account (formerly MyAlberta ID) or at a registry office such as Ivy Lane. Seniors who already receive Alberta Seniors Benefit will automatically receive these payments and do not need to apply. The deadline to apply is June 30, 2023.

(If you will have no balance owing on your tax return and file after the deadline, you will not be assessed late filing penalties HOWEVER you may stop receiving your benefit/credit payments such as GST and Canada Child Benefit.)
If you have self-employed income (farming or business income), the deadline to file your return is June 15, 2023. However, you are still required to pay any balance owing by May 1, 2023.
