The Canada Revenue Agency is reminding everyone to check for any benefits they may be able to apply for in their taxes, and in Saskatchewan, Alberta, Manitoba and Ontario, that includes the climate action incentive payment.
Saskatchewan CRA spokesperson, Joanne De Waal (dee wall) says the payment is for any provinces that don’t have their own climate action plan accepted by the federal government.
The payment has gone up this year to an average of $1,000 for an eligible family of four.
For single people, it’s $500 and a total of $750 for a couple.
The federal government says in the provinces with a carbon tax, most households receive more money back than they would pay through the tax.
