In 2025 the federal Climate Action Incentive was rebranded as the Canada Carbon Rebate (CCR). Importantly, Ottawa ended the consumer carbon price effective April 1, 2025, and announced there would be no further quarterly CCR payments after 2025. Eligible households still received a final CCR tied to their 2024 tax return assessment in2025.
Why you’re hearing “$1,120”
The widely cited $1,120 figure refers to the annualized 2024–25 base-year amount for a family of four in Ontario—paid quarterly during that program year. Other provinces had different totals because rebate levels reflect local fuel-charge proceeds and consumption patterns.
2024–25 base-year totals for a family of four (for context)
- Alberta: $1,800
- Manitoba: $1,200
- Ontario: $1,120
- Saskatchewan: $1,504
- New Brunswick: $760
- Nova Scotia: $824
- Prince Edward Island: $880
- Newfoundland & Labrador: $1,192
2025 payment schedule (final installments)
For 2025, households in fuel-charge provinces saw two CCR dates as the program wound down: January 15, 2025, and the final 2025 installment (issued 22, 2025 for most). After that, no more quarterly CCR. Direct deposit recipients received it automatically from the CRA; cheques went by mail where applicable.
Who qualified for the final 2025 payment
You generally qualified if:
- You were a resident of a province where the federal fuel charge applied, and
- You filed your 2024 tax return (the CRA used it to calculate your payment), and
- You met household composition rules (single, couple, number of children).
Note: The CCR is a refundable credit paid quarterly (during the program year) and was not income-tested—amounts depended on province and family size, not income. A 20% rural supplement applied for eligible rural residents.
Ontario amounts: how $1,120 is built
In Ontario’s 2024–25 base year, typical quarterly amounts broke down as follows:
- First adult: $140/quarter ($560/year)
- Second adult: $70/quarter ($280/year)
- Each child: $35/quarter ($140/year)
- Family of four (2 adults + 2 children): $280/quarter = $1,120/year
Eligible rural households could add a 20% supplement.

How to make sure you received the final CCR
- File your 2024 tax return promptly (e-file speeds assessment).
- Check CRA My Account or your bank statement around the April 2025 date.
- If you filed after April 2, the CRA pays after assessment of your 2024 return.
The $1,120 figure is real for an Ontario family of four under the 2024–25 base year, but 2025 was the wind-down year. The CCR’s final payment posted in 025—with no further quarterly installments afterward. If you met eligibility and filed your 2024 return, you should have received that last payment automatically.
