2024 Canadian Tax Credits and Benefits

[Ciel21]

Apologies to anyone (who like me) might have been expecting to get the January Climate Action Incentive Payment today. At least I checked my account at the ATM on the way!

The schedule indicates the payment is on the 15th of January, April, July and October unless the day falls on the weekend or federal statutory holiday-then payment is made on the last business day before the 15th.

Amounts for the Canada Carbon Rebate (CCR) (previously known as the Climate Action Incentive Payment) new benefit year starting in April 2024 announced: https://www.canada.ca/en/department-...r-2024-25.html

https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-age...-payments.html

To receive your payment on April 15, 2024, you and your spouse or common-law partner (if applicable), must have your income tax and benefit return filed electronically on or before March 15, 2024. If your tax returns are processed after this date, your payment will be included in a subsequent payment after your return is assessed.

So $18 increase for me in Ontario. If I remember 2023, those of us who had returns assessed by March 23 last year got the CAI one week prior to the rest of the filers? It was not much of a difference but CRA must like the carrot approach to get people to file while they have seasonal staff on duty for tax time.

[Ciel21]

Saskatchwan residents, you have to watch and see how long your Premier and the Federal Government argue over carbon tax remittances as your Canada carbon rebate cheques are not coming.

My Account shows my April CCR payment now. They also clarified the meaning of "subsequent payment" if you filed after March 15.

[Ciel21]

Darn, guess there's no spree on April 15 for me. Since it takes about 4 weeks to get a paper tax return to assessment, that means the CCR might not reach me until June! I dislike the yearly moving of the carrot stick in relation to the CCR.

Feel for the residents of Saskatchewan-no CCR for anyone whilst the Premier withholds carbon tax funds from the federal government.
