formerly Climate Action Incentive (CAI) payment
The government began delivering CAI payments to Canadians on a quarterly basis starting in July 2022. This approach returns fuel charge (tax) proceeds to households on a more regular basis, with 8 out of 10 households getting more money back than they pay. Check your bank statement to see how much you receive every 3 months. In provinces where the federal fuel charge applies, a family of four will receive up to $1,800 under the base Canada Carbon Rebate in 2024-25. In April 2024, residents of these provinces will receive their first of four quarterly Canada Carbon Rebate payments, with additional payments in July 2024, October 2024, and January 2025.
