The Canada Carbon Rebate (CCR), called the Climate Action Incentive payment (CAIP) until it was renamed, has ended. The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) says the government stopped the federal fuel charge and the rebate for individuals on March 15, 2025, and fuel charge rates were set to zero from April 1, 2025. The final payment went out starting April 22, 2025, and there are no more quarterly payments.
This page keeps the program’s record: the final payment, the last full year of quarterly amounts, and how to claim amounts you missed. Carbon tax cancelled: what it means for you covers what changed when the tax ended. Programs you can still get are in the government benefits guide.
How the rebate worked
The rebate returned the federal fuel charge collected in provinces that used the federal carbon pricing system. It was:
- Automatic when you filed a tax return, with no separate application. You had to be 19 or older, or have a spouse or common-law partner, or be a parent living with your child.
- Tax-free, paid by direct deposit or cheque.
- Family-based: the payment included amounts for a spouse or partner and each child. A spouse or partner added 50% of the individual amount and each child under 19 added 25%. A single parent’s first child got the spouse amount.
- Topped up for rural residents: people living in small and rural communities got a supplement of 20% of the base amount for the 2023 and 2024 base years, and 10% before that.
It was paid in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and the four Atlantic provinces. It was never paid in British Columbia, Quebec, Yukon, the Northwest Territories or Nunavut. British Columbia’s own climate action tax credit has also ended.

If you never received a payment
The program has ended, but amounts already owed are still paid:
| Situation | What happens |
|---|---|
| You filed your 2024 return late | CRA pays the final April 2025 amount once the return is assessed |
| You didn’t file a return for one of the 2021 to 2024 base years | CRA pays that year’s rebate once you file and the return is assessed |
| No deposit since April 2025 | Expected: the program has ended |
| You moved to one of these provinces after it ended | Nothing is payable |
