Before 2021, the CAI was a refundable tax credit required annually on individual income tax returns.<\/p>\n
Climate Action Incentive Payment (CAIP)<\/strong><\/h2>\nCAIP will now be paid as a quarterly benefit. If you qualify, you will automatically receive CAIP four times a year, starting in July 2022.<\/p>\n
What is CAIP?<\/strong><\/h3>\nCAIP is a tax-deductible amount paid to help individuals and families offset the costs incurred by federal pollution fees. It is available to residents of Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario. They include a basic amount and an additional amount for residents of small communities and rural communities.<\/p>\n
The Government of Canada has proposed changing the way IAC payments are made from a refundable credit claimed annually on individual income tax returns to tax-free quarterly payments made through the Benefits Plan.

Do you need to request the CAIP?<\/strong><\/h3>\nYou do not need to apply to receive CAIP payments. The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) will determine your eligibility when you file your income and benefit tax return and send you payments if you qualify.<\/p>\n
If you have a spouse or domestic partner, only one of you can benefit from the family credit. The credit will be paid to the spouse or domestic partner for whom the tax return is pre-selected. It does not matter who will receive the credit, the amount will be the same.<\/p>\n
To continue receiving CAIP payments, you and your spouse or domestic partner, if applicable, must continue to file income and income tax returns each year.<\/p>\n
The CAIP includes a supplement for residents of small rural communities. To claim the rural supplement, you must complete Schedule 14 and attach it to your income and capital gains taxes.<\/p>\n
If you qualify for the rural benefit but forgot to file it when you filed your income and income tax return, simply complete Schedule 14 and mail in the completed form.<\/p>\n
How much can you expect to receive?<\/strong><\/h3>\nThe amount you receive depends on your family circumstances and the county in which you reside. The CRA does not charge interest on overpayments or underpayments.<\/p>\n
When will you receive your payments?<\/strong><\/h3>\nIf you qualify for a CAIP, you can get it on April 15, July, October, and January. Once your 2021 income and benefit tax return has been processed and you qualify. Terms, the first payment will be issued on July 15, 2022 and will include an amount effective from April 2022.<\/p>\n
