CRA Confirms $1120 Climate Rebate 2025: The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has confirmed that in 2025, eligible Canadians will receive the Climate Action Incentive Payment (CAIP), commonly known as the climate rebate. This federal initiative provides direct tax-free payments to offset the financial impact of federal carbon pricing. Families can receive up to $1120 annually, depending on their province of residence and household size.
Unlike traditional tax credits, which are applied at year-end, the CAIP is issued quarterly and deposited directly into the bank accounts of eligible Canadians.
Climate Rebate Amounts in 2025
The rebate is calculated based on province of residence, household size, and family composition. According to the CRA, here’s the general breakdown for 2025:

Since carbon pricing varies across provinces, the exact payment differs by location. Families in provinces where energy costs are higher generally receive larger rebates.
Eligibility for the Climate Rebate 2025
To qualify for the 2025 climate rebate, individuals must meet the following conditions:
- Residency: Must be a resident of Canada and live in a province where the federal fuel charge applies.
- Age requirement: At least 19 years old.
- Exceptions for minors: Those under 19 may still qualify if they are married, in a common-law relationship, or a parent living with a child.
- Tax filing: The rebate is calculated automatically when you file your income tax return. No separate application is required.
This ensures that all eligible households receive the benefit without additional paperwork.
CRA Climate Rebate Payment Dates for 2025
The CRA will issue the rebate on a quarterly schedule in 2025. Payments are expected on:

Most Canadians receive the rebate through direct deposit, ensuring fast and secure payments. For those without direct deposit, the CRA issues a cheque by mail, which may take longer to arrive.

Why the Climate Rebate Matters
The climate rebate is a key part of Canada’s climate strategy. While the carbon tax is intended to encourage reduced emissions and greener energy choices, the rebate ensures that households—especially low- and middle-income families—are not disproportionately affected by rising energy costs.
In fact, federal data shows that most households receive more money through the rebate than they pay in carbon taxes, effectively making the program a net financial benefit.
