2025 Canadian Benefits and payment dates

[Ciel21]

Happened to see an article about changes to the Canada Child Benefit in relation to CCB payments' continuation for a short time after death of child to assist parents/guardians with funeral costs:

The benefits calculator has been updated for 2025-26 GST Credit and Ontario Trillium Benefit payment amounts. Not sure about provincial credits in other provinces. Carbon Credit has not been updated yet.

The benefits calendar page shows when refreshing the page. However, who thought the date of birth field should be linked to a monthly calendar page? That is over 55 years of months to tab back. Nope.
Just put in the day month year fields, CRA.

Reminder for anyone wanting to get their Canada Carbon Rebate on April 15, 2025 that your personal income tax return has to be e-filed by March 23

New Prime Minister Carney has confirmed the Canada Carbon Rebate will still be sent out on April 15.

However, the Official Opposition has stated that Carney's order in council to scrap the carbon tax (on April 1) can only be passed after Parliament is recalled to debate/pass it.

Suggest we consider this rebate to likely be the last one. For those with cellphones that are not voLTE capable, you might be looking now for affordable replacement phone with voLTE as carriers plan to shut down 3G networks this spring/summer. My carrier still uses 3G for voicemail services so I am looking to see if another model in the same phone brand might be in the secondhand market locally .

Dept of Finance issued a news release with the amounts of the final CCR along with other info. The amounts are higher or the same compared to 2024-25 amounts (Ontario went from $140 to $151)

Orders in council can only change regulations but only parliament can change the law. But they can effectively scrap the tax by changing the regulation to specify the amount of the tax is zero. So the tax still exists but it's zero, haha.

Two days ago, I saw that the Canada Carbon Rebate was mentioned on X as having a deposit date of April 22, just 6 days before the election.
Considering that Easter is on April 20, I would have liked the rebate to have stayed on its original April 15 deposit date. CRA posted that income tax returns filed by April 2 (not the March 23 deadline I recall seeing a month ago). I won't be the only disappointed person who might have liked to shop prior to April 20...

$11 boost in Ontario for first adult in a household. Thanks @eataiag for the table!
So farewell rebate. Last call.

April 4 is the Gst/Hst credit deposit date.

I filed on the CCR cutoff date of April 2 and scheduled payment just showed up on CRA My Account.

Thanks @eataiag ! I decided to use SimpleFile by phone since I had the letter in February and I just used up my large value stamps to mail a bubble envelope to USA. Will log into my CRA account to see if I may get my CCR on April 23 or soon afterwards as I filed on April 3.

Update: have a NOA for April 14. No notice regarding the CCR payment date. Since it has been almost 10 months since I last accessed my CRA account and seeing there is no longer a list of benefits schedule showing, I did a spring clean by changing my email address, adding a phone number and changing my password.

[eataiag]

Your NOA date is 2 business days (4 calendar days) after mine, so hopefully your scheduled payment will show up early next week. The only upcoming benefits for me besides CCR are the April, May and June Ontario Trillium Benefit but I think you got lump sum. The new benefit year for GST Credit and OTB starts in July and they usually post those at the end of June/beginning of July.

I checked today in My Account and still no news about a CCR deposit date. Rather miss the old tables showing credit payment dates and when next payments are scheduled.

[eataiag]

@Ciel21 You can't see payments dates on this link, that you already posted above, when you click the year? https://www.canada.ca/en/services/be.../calendar.html

This one shows them without needing to click on anything but it's missing CPP and OAS. https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-age...ent-dates.html

[Ciel21]

I do not know why clicking on the year on the first link does not display payment dates for you @eataiag. I can see dates.
Just want to ask if your browser is updated to most recent version? Or does the issue only arise on one device and not another?
