The Canada Carbon Rebate (formerly known as the Climate action incentive payment (CAIP)) was a tax-free amount to help eligible individuals and families offset the cost of the federal pollution pricing. It consisted of a basic amount and a supplement for residents of small and rural communities.

On March 15, 2025, the Government of Canada stopped the federal fuel charge and the Canada Carbon Rebate for individuals.

There will be no further quarterly CCR payments after the April 2025 payment.
