Have you claimed the climate action incentive payment yet?

Pollution has a cost – it impacts the air we breathe, our children's health and our economy. That's why the Government of Canada has put a price on carbon pollution.

The Government of Canada has introduced the new climate action incentive (CAI) payment. If you are a resident of Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario or Alberta, you can claim it when you file your 2019 income tax and benefit return.

Claim the climate action incentive payment

How much you may receive depends on your province of residence and your personal situation.

For example for 2020, a family of four could receive $888 in Alberta, $809 in Saskatchewan, $486 in Manitoba, and $448 in Ontario.

Change your income tax and benefit return to claim the CAI payment even after you filed

If you are eligible for the climate action incentive payment and didn't claim it when you filed your income tax and benefit return, it's not too late! All you have to do is change your income tax and benefit return.
