Manitobans are going to receive a number of payments over the next year as part of a new climate action incentive.
The CAIP is a tax-free amount paid to help individuals and families offset the cost of the federal pollution pricing. It is available to residents of Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario. It consists of a basic amount and a supplement for residents of small and rural communities.
The Government of Canada has proposed to change the payment method for the CAI from a refundable credit claimed annually on personal income tax returns to quarterly tax free payments made through the benefit system starting in July 2022.
These new CAI payments will be coming in quarterly starting July 15th, 2022 and will see the average family of four receiving roughly $832 fir the 2022-23 fiscal year.
Residents of rural and small communities may also be eligible for an extra 10% of payment.
