The Government of Canada announces new rebate to help businesses with carbon pollution pricing

The Canada Carbon Rebate for Small Businesses is a refundable tax credit announced in Budget 2024 to return a portion of federal fuel charge proceeds directly to eligible Canadian-controlled private corporations (CCPCs).

The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) is working towards issuing the retroactive payments, which total over $2.5 billion with respect to the 2019-2020 to 2023-2024 fuel charge years.
