Canada Carbon Rebate Payment Is Now Being Sent

Last Updated On 19 April 2025, 9:37 AM EDT (Toronto Time)

The newly increased Canada Carbon Rebate (CCR) payments will start going out to eligible tax-paying Canadian residents on April 15.

The Canadian government has renamed the Climate Action Incentive Payment (CAIP) to the Canada Carbon Rebate (CCR) in 2024 to reflect its more direct meaning.

Residents of Alberta, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, and Saskatchewan are eligible for the new enhanced CCR payment.

However, residents of British Columbia, the Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Quebec, and Yukon are ineligible to receive federal CCR payments since they have their own set-up for pollution pricing.

The price of carbon modifies Carbon rebate amounts every year, ensuring that the refund continues to reflect the predicted earnings in each province where it applies.

The province directly receives the majority of the revenues from the Canada Carbon Rebate.

The first of four quarterly CCR payments will start rolling out on April 15, 2024, with additional quarterly payments due in July, October, and January 2025.
