The Canada Carbon Rebate for November 2025 has sparked considerable interest among Canadian households and individual taxpayers. The program offers payments of up to $1,120, designed to help manage rising living costs while encouraging environmentally responsible actions. Issued by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), the quarterly credit provides direct cash support to eligible recipients, with amounts varying by the province of residence and household composition.
Who Benefits from the Rebate?
Known previously as the Climate Action Incentive Payment, the rebate continues to support millions of Canadian residents by offsetting the federal fuel-charge burden. It is automatically issued—eligible citizens do not need to submit a separate application. The CRA determines eligibility primarily via income-tax filings, ensuring timely payment for qualifying individuals and families. In November 2025, residents of provinces such as Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario will receive their payments via direct deposit under the quarterly schedule.
Eligibility Criteria for the CRA Carbon Payment
To be eligible for the CRA’s carbon rebate, several specific requirements must be met:
- The claimant must reside in an eligible province on the first day of the payment month.
- The claimant must be at least 19 years of age (exceptions may apply for spouses or common-law partners).
- Families can receive extra amounts for each child under 19 who lives with the claimant.
- For joint filers or single parents, the rebate total is adjusted based on household size and income.
- Individuals who do not file an income tax return risk being excluded, since eligibility is derived from CRA tax records.
