Canada Carbon Rebate July 2025
Quick Answer: No Rebate for Individuals in July 2025
The Canada Carbon Rebate — previously known as the Climate Action Incentive Payment (CAIP) — was phased out for individuals after the final payment issued in April 2025.
That means:
- No individuals or families will receive a carbon rebate in July 2025.
- Any CRA deposits this month are likely from other benefits like the GST/HST Credit, Canada Child Benefit (CCB), or the Ontario Trillium Benefit.

Why the Carbon Rebate Ended for Individuals
The federal government eliminated the consumer carbon tax starting April 1, 2025, which also marked the end of quarterly direct deposits to individuals under the Canada Carbon Rebate.
The last individual CCR payment was issued in April 2025, covering the January–March quarter. Since the carbon tax no longer applies to personal fuel use, there is no need to issue further rebates to consumers.
But Small Businesses Still Get a Carbon Rebate in 2025
While individual payments have ended, the Canada Carbon Rebate for Small and Medium-Sized Businesses is still active and is expected to be paid out this summer — possibly as early as July 2025, depending on CRA processing.
To qualify, businesses must:
- Operate in provinces where the federal carbon pricing system applies (e.g., Ontario, Alberta, Manitoba, etc.)
- File their 2024 tax return by the July 15, 2025 deadline
After returns are assessed, eligible businesses will receive a one-time, tax-free rebate. The government has confirmed these payments will be issued once legislative approvals are finalized, expected by late summer or early fall 2025.
Summary of Canada Carbon Rebate Status – July 2025
| Recipient | Carbon Rebate in July 2025? | Status |

If You See a CRA Benefit Payments Deposit July 2025
If you notice a CRA direct deposit in your account in July 2025, it could be from:
- Ontario Trillium Benefit (for eligible residents)
- GST/HST Credit (July marks the new payment year)
- Canada Child Benefit (CCB) or Canada Workers Benefit (CWB)
- Provincial benefit top-ups
It will not be a carbon rebate unless you are a qualifying business and the rebate has been processed.
What’s Next?
For individuals:
- There are no more CCR payments planned. The program is officially closed for consumers.
For small businesses:
- File your 2024 tax return before July 15 to be eligible.
- Watch for announcements in late summer when the CRA begins issuing carbon rebate payments.
Final Word
The Canada Carbon Rebate was a helpful tool for many households in recent years — but as of July 2025, it’s no longer part of the monthly CRA benefit cycle for individuals.
If you’re not a small business owner, don’t expect a carbon rebate this month.
