Millions of Canadians are set to receive their final Canada Carbon Rebate payment ahead of the April 28 vote. Residents of eight provinces, including Alberta and Nova Scotia, which had a federal carbon fuel charge, will receive their final Canada Carbon Rebate payment on April 22. In addition, British Columbians will receive their final B.C. Climate Action Tax Credit payment.

The federal government will distribute approximately $4 billion in payments under the Canada Carbon Rebate to around 13 million Canadians. According to the Canada Revenue Agency, only those who filed their tax returns before April 2 will receive this rebate before the election. Canadians who filed after that date will have to wait until their 2024 returns are processed.

It is important to note that with the end of the consumer carbon tax on April 1, Canadians will no longer receive payments related to the tax after this final rebate.
