As July 2025 approaches, eligible Canadians are getting ready to receive their quarterly Canada Carbon Rebate, officially known as the Climate Action Incentive Payment (CAIP).
This tax-free payment is issued by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) and aims to help households offset the cost of carbon pricing in provinces where the federal backstop applies.
Understanding your deposit date and payment amount can help you plan summer expenses, especially as the cost of living continues to impact family budgets.
What Is the Canada Carbon Rebate?
The Canada Carbon Rebate is a quarterly direct deposit or cheque issued to Canadians in provinces that do not have their own carbon pricing systems. The goal is to return most of the proceeds collected from fuel charges directly back to residents.
Provinces Eligible for CAIP:
- Alberta
- Manitoba
- Ontario
- Saskatchewan
- Newfoundland and Labrador
- Nova Scotia
- New Brunswick
- Prince Edward Island
British Columbia, Quebec, and the territories are excluded as they have their own carbon pricing programs.
When Will the July 2025 Carbon Rebate Be Deposited?
For most provinces, the Canada Revenue Agency will issue the July 2025 carbon rebate on Monday, July 15, 2025, assuming your 2024 tax return has been filed and assessed before June 2025. Paper cheques may take up to 10 business days to arrive.
