The “fuel charge” will be added to the cost of gasoline, so gas prices will increase, and it will be added to the cost of residential heating, so home heating bills have also increased. What the Climate Action Revenue Incentive Program is?Īs part of the Government of Canada’s Climate Change Plan, residents of Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and later added Alberta will receive a tax credit called the “Carbon Tax Rebate” for Albertans and called “Climate Action Incentive” for the other provinces, when they file their income tax returns. This was explained by the government as being due to the fact that rural Canadians use more energy and that do not have as many public transportation options as city-dwellers have available to reduce their fuel consumption. Residents in more rural areas will receive 10% more than residents who live in cities. Net Impact of the Climate Action Revenue Incentive Program & Carbon Tax RebateĪfter paying the fuel charge, and receiving the Climate Action Incentive credit the government estimates that the average Canadian household of a family of 4, will actually be better off. Although it is not available to all provinces, you will be able to claim the CIA if you live in Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario or Alberta, as of 2019 and onward. Canadian Government has introduced a new payment to individuals to help reduce carbon pollution called the Climate Action Incentive.
