Service Description

A tax-free amount paid to help individuals and families offset the cost of the federal pollution pricing. The benefit is a basic amount plus supplement for residents of small and rural areas and is paid out quarterly.

The benefit begins July 1, 2023 for PEI, Newfoundland and Labrador, and Nova Scotia. Residents for these provinces will only receive three payments for 2023 (July, October, and January).
