New Brunswick Child Tax Benefit

The New Brunswick Child Tax Benefit (NBCTB) is a non-taxable monthly payment made to qualifying low-income families with children under age 18.

The New Brunswick Working Income Supplement (NBWIS) is an additional benefit paid to qualifying families with earned income who have children under age 18.

Benefits are combined with the Canada Child Tax Benefit (CCTB) into one monthly payment.

For details on payment amounts, see Pamphlet T4114, Canada Child Benefits.

You do not have to apply separately to get payments under this program. We will use the information from your Canada Child Benefits application to determine your eligibility for the program.
