The Canada Carbon Rebate returns in June 2025 to support households facing rising fuel costs. Here’s a complete guide on the Canada Confirmed Carbon Rebate for June 2025; read to know who qualifies, how much you’ll receive, and when payments will arrive.
Canada Confirmed Carbon Rebate for June 2025: Here’s How to Claim and Eligibility
The Canadian federal government has confirmed that the Canada Carbon Rebate (CCR)—formerly known as the Climate Action Incentive Payment—will be disbursed in June 2025. This rebate aims to return carbon tax revenues back to households, especially in provinces under the federal carbon pricing system. The amount depends on your province and family size, with an extra supplement for rural residents.
The rebate is issued quarterly and deposited directly into eligible taxpayers’ bank accounts. For June 2025, the payment was moved up from its usual July cycle to help Canadians cope with rising fuel and energy prices during summer. No application is required if you’ve filed your 2024 tax return and meet the residency and eligibility requirements.
What Is the Canada Carbon Rebate?
The Canada Carbon Rebate is a tax-free benefit paid every three months to residents in provinces where the federal fuel charge applies. It’s designed to offset the higher cost of living caused by carbon pricing, while encouraging environmentally responsible behavior. While the tax is paid by producers and distributors of fuels, the proceeds are redistributed directly to residents through this rebate.
This system ensures that most families, especially low- and middle-income households, receive more in rebates than they pay in carbon-related costs. The rebate is adjusted annually based on fuel charge rates and is supplemented for those living in rural areas who rely more on gasoline or heating fuels.
Who Is Eligible to Receive the June 2025 Rebate?
To qualify for the rebate in June 2025, you must meet the following requirements:
- Be a resident of an eligible province on the first day of the payment month.
- Be at least 19 years old.
- Have filed your 2024 income tax return.
- Not be claimed as a dependent by someone else.
The eligible provinces include:
- Alberta
- Saskatchewan
- Manitoba
- Ontario
- Nova Scotia
- New Brunswick
- Prince Edward Island
- Newfoundland and Labrador
Only one payment is issued per household, so couples or families receive one combined amount. Payments are automatically processed through the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA).
Rebate Amounts by Province and Family Type
The rebate amounts are calculated based on family size and the province of residence. Below are estimated quarterly amounts for a family of four:
| Province | Rebate (Family of 4) |
|---|---|
| Alberta | $450 |
| Saskatchewan | $340 |
| Manitoba | $300 |
| Ontario | $280 |
| Nova Scotia | $248 |
Residents living in rural communities receive a 10–20% rural supplement on top of these base amounts.

It’s important to ensure your direct deposit and mailing information is up-to-date in your CRA “My Account” to avoid delays.
How to Ensure You Receive the Payment
You don’t need to apply separately for this rebate. It’s automatically calculated and distributed based on your 2024 tax return. To avoid missing your payment:
- File your taxes by the April 30 deadline.
- Confirm your direct deposit info with CRA.
- Update your address if you’ve recently moved.
You can also log into your CRA account to view your rebate status or check if any prior payments were missed.
What’s New for 2025?
In 2025, the government increased rural top-ups and adjusted the base amounts to reflect higher carbon pricing. While the federal carbon tax is set to rise gradually each year, the majority of proceeds continue to go back to households in the form of this rebate.
With summer fuel usage high, especially for rural families, the early June payment comes as a welcome relief for many Canadians.
