The final Canada Carbon Rebate (CCR) payments will roll out starting April 22 to Canadians in eight provinces: Alberta, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island and Saskatchewan.
“There will be no further quarterly CCR payments after the April payment,” the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) says on its website.
The CRA is advising Canadians to file their 2024 income tax and benefit return electronically no later than Wednesday to get the payment in April.
“If you file after that, you will receive your final payment once your 2024 return is assessed,” the agency states.
