Canadians to receive first carbon pricing rebate of 2024. Here’s how much you could get

Eligible Canadians will receive their first carbon pricing rebate of 2024 from the federal government starting Monday.

The rebate, officially called the Climate Action Incentive payment, will be applied to people living in provinces where the federal carbon tax is applied.

Residents in Alberta, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, New Brunswick, P.E.I, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland and Labrador will automatically receive the rebate through direct deposit or by cheque, as long as they have filed their income tax and benefit returns.

British Columbia, Quebec and the Northwest Territories do not participate in the federal carbon pollution pricing system, so residents are not eligible to receive the rebate.

The federal carbon pricing plan includes a 10 per cent supplement for residents in small and rural communities, beyond the base payment. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced in October that the amount will be doubled to 20 per cent in April this year as a form of recognition of the increased energy needs and reduced access to cleaner transportation options in those jurisdictions.

The amount received depends on the size of the household. According to Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), a family of four will receive the following pollution price rebate amounts:

Individuals in New Brunswick will receive $92. Two-person households with a spouse or common-law partner will get $46, or $23 per child under 19.

In Alberta, an individual can expect $193, a spouse or common-law partner $96.50 and $48.25 per child under 19.

In Manitoba, it’s $132 for an individual, $66 for a spouse or common-law partner and $33 per child under 19.

In Ontario, an individual can expect $122, a spouse or common-law partner $61 and $30.50 per child under
