As summer expenses increase, millions of Canadians are anticipating their Canada Carbon Rebate for July 2025. Officially known as the Climate Action Incentive Payment (CAIP), this quarterly benefit is designed to ease the financial burden of federal carbon pricing. Issued automatically by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), the payment supports eligible residents across eight provinces.
If you’ve already filed your 2024 income tax return, you may be in line to receive the CRA carbon rebate. Here’s a complete guide on the payment schedule, eligibility, amounts, and how to track your rebate.
What Is the Canada Carbon Rebate?
The Canada Carbon Rebate is a federal benefit paid out every three months to individuals living in provinces where the federal carbon pricing system—also known as the federal backstop—applies. The participating provinces include:
- Alberta
- Ontario
- Manitoba
- Saskatchewan
- New Brunswick
- Nova Scotia
- Prince Edward Island
- Newfoundland and Labrador
Residents of British Columbia and Quebec are excluded from this rebate, as these provinces operate their own carbon pricing systems.
