CRA Confirms $1,120 Carbon Rebate for 2025: Who Qualifies and Payment DatesThe Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has confirmed the final round of the Canada Carbon Rebate (CCR) for 2025, giving families significant financial relief against rising living costs. Eligible households can receive up to $1,120 annually, with higher amounts for families in provinces with greater fuel charges. While the program officially ends in April 2025, a final one-time payment will be issued in July 2025 for late filers and those qualifying for rural supplements.
CRA $1,120 Carbon Rebate 2025
Formerly known as the Climate Action Incentive (CAI), the rebate ensures that revenues collected through federal carbon pricing are returned directly to households. The CCR applies to provinces under federal carbon pricing, including Ontario, Alberta, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland and Labrador. Even though the federal fuel charge ends on April 1, 2025, this last payment ensures fairness for families who filed taxes late or live in rural communities.
