The Government of Canada has announced that the next round of Canada Carbon Rebate (CCR) payments — up to $450 — will begin next week.
This tax-free quarterly payment, previously known as the Climate Action Incentive Payment (CAIP), aims to compensate households for increased fuel and energy costs resulting from federal carbon pricing.
The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) will automatically issue these payments to eligible Canadians living in provinces that do not have their own carbon pricing system.
What Is the Canada Carbon Rebate?
The Canada Carbon Rebate (CCR) provides quarterly payments to eligible Canadians to offset the rising costs of pollution pricing, especially on fuel and energy consumption.
As of 2024, this benefit has been expanded and renamed to offer greater financial support, particularly for rural residents.
The rebate is non-taxable and does not require a separate application. The amount you receive depends on your family composition and province of residence.
