Frequently Asked Questions

What is the carbon tax rate in 2026?
The federal carbon price is $80 per tonne of CO2 equivalent in 2026, which translates to about 17.6 cents per litre of gasoline.
Who gets the Climate Action Incentive rebate?
Residents of provinces where the federal backstop applies (ON, AB, SK, MB, and Atlantic provinces) receive quarterly CAIP payments. Most households receive more in rebates than they pay in carbon costs.
Does BC have a carbon tax?
BC has its own provincial carbon tax system and is not part of the federal backstop, so BC residents do not receive the CAIP rebate.
