Carbon Tax Rebate 2023-2024

Carbon Tax, or Fuel Charge in Canada, is like an extra cost you pay when you use certain fuels. It’s meant to help the environment. In 2023, the lowest tax you pay for each ton of CO2 is CA$65, and it will go up to CA$170 in 2030.

The Canadian Revenue Agency wants to make things easier for people in New Brunswick, Ontario, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. They will give back some money, and it’s called the Carbon Tax Rebate for 2023-2024.

If you live in those four provinces, you can get the Carbon Tax rebate. They give you the money in four equal parts, and you do not have to pay tax on it. It is to help you with the cost of pollution pricing. The rebate has a regular amount and extra for people in small towns.

If you live in Newfoundland and Labrador, Prince Edward Island, or Nova Scotia, you will get your fuel charge rebate in three equal parts in the first year and four equal parts in the following years, all starting on July 1, 2023.

Carbon Tax Rebate Payments 2023-2024: What You will Get

The money you get from the Carbon Tax Rebate depends on your family and where you live. However, everyone gets the same amount, and they do not take any money away based on how much your family earns. Here is a table to show how they figure out the money for 2022.

Important Note: People in New Brunswick will get double money in October, which covers July to September 2023 and October to December 2023.

If you live in a small or rural place, you need to answer a question about 2022 in your 2023 tax form. They will give you the money for 2022 after that.

The extra 10% for rural areas, not mentioned for Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, and Labrador, will also go to rural folks in other provinces.

Carbon Tax Rebate Payment Date – When Will You Get It

If you can get the Carbon Tax Rebate in those provinces we talked about, you will get it in April, July, October, and January, always on the 15th of the month. However, if the 15th is on a Saturday, Sunday, or a federal holiday, they will give it to you on the last working day.

So, if you are getting the rebate, remember that this year, October 15th is on a Sunday, so you will likely get your money on Monday. If you chose direct deposit, that is how they will send it to you. However, if you owe taxes to the Canada Revenue Agency, they might use the money to pay what you owe in income tax.

If you do not get your payment after at least ten days, call 1-888-863-8662 for benefit debt or 1-888-863-8657 for tax return debt.

How Can I Check If I Can Get Carbon Tax Rebate

It is easy to know if you can get the CAIF money. If you live in Canada for income tax at the beginning of the month when CRA pays, you can get the rebate.

You need to be at least 19 years old when they make the four payments. However, if you’re under 19, you can still get it if:

  • You were married or had a wife before.
  • You are or were a parent and lived with your child.
