There’s no Saskatchewan carbon tax rebate to claim any more. The federal fuel charge stopped in the spring of 2025, with rates set to zero from April 1, and the Canada Carbon Rebate for individuals ended with it. The last payment went out in April 2025, and the CRA says there will be no more quarterly payments.
Why did the rebate stop?
The rebate was never a gift from a program of its own. It handed back the money collected from the federal fuel charge to households in provinces where that charge applied, Saskatchewan among them. On March 14, 2025 the federal government announced it would set all fuel charge rates to zero from April 1. Once nothing was being collected, there was nothing to hand back.
The CRA’s own page for the program now carries the word “Closed” in its title, and it says it plainly:
There will be no further quarterly CCR payments after the April 2025 payment.
Closed – Canada Carbon Rebate (CCR) for individuals, canada.ca
So if a website tells you to “apply” for the Saskatchewan rebate, be careful. There’s nothing to apply for.
What did the last payment pay in Saskatchewan?
The April 2025 payment used the 2024 tax year as its base. The CRA’s calculation sheet for Saskatchewan gave these amounts for that quarter.
| Who in the household | Basic amount | Rural supplement |
|---|---|---|
| First adult | $206.00 | $41.20 |
| Spouse or partner | $103.00 | $20.60 |
| Each child | $51.50 | $10.30 |
| First child of a single parent | $103.00 | not confirmed |
Take Amir and Leila in Regina, with two kids. They got $412 in April: $206, plus $103 for the partner, plus $51.50 for each child. Had they lived in a small or rural community, the supplement would have added $82.40 and the payment would have been $494.40.
Family income didn’t change the amount. The CRA said the rebate wasn’t reduced by income, so the payment depended on where you lived and who was in your household.
Is there anything to claim on your 2025 return?
We didn’t find an official page saying you need to report the final payment or claim anything for it on a tax return, and the CRA’s closed-program page doesn’t say either way. That’s a gap, so if you’re unsure, check the return’s instructions or call the CRA before you file. What you can do is look at the bigger picture. Your income tax estimate shows what you owe, and the tax refund calculator shows whether you’re due money back after the tax already taken from your pay.
One more practical point. If you changed address or family size in 2025 and some other benefit looks wrong, the carbon rebate isn’t the cause. Child and family payments run on their own schedule, so check your My Account for the real reason before you phone anyone.
What about the Saskatchewan carbon tax itself?
Two different things get mixed up here. The consumer fuel charge was federal, and it’s gone. Saskatchewan’s own move, announced March 27, 2025, was to pause the industrial carbon tax rate under its output-based performance standards program and drop the carbon tax rate rider from SaskPower bills. It said that from April 1 the province would be carbon tax free.
The federal system for large industrial facilities is separate from the fuel charge, and the CRA’s notice says that part continues. Nobody is mailing you a cheque from that side. The rebate was never tied to what you spent on fuel, so there’s no matching payment now.
How do you plan without the payment?
If you counted on the quarterly rebate, your budget lost a small line. For a single adult it was $206 for the quarter, which works out to under $70 a month, a few bucks a day. Put your real numbers into the budget calculator and see what changed. If you’re in a lower-income household, the GST/HST credit calculator covers a different federal payment. We haven’t confirmed its 2026 amounts for this page, so check the tool.
Your paycheque matters more than a rebate ever did. Check your pay stub with the take-home pay calculator if the deductions look off.
Will the rebate come back?
We found nothing from the CRA saying so. The program was tied to the fuel charge, and the charge is at zero. If the rules change, the CRA’s closed-program page is where an update would show up first, so look there before acting on a rumour you saw on social media.
What mistakes do people make?
People still search for a form. There isn’t one. Others think the rebate followed the price they paid at the pump. It didn’t. It was set by household size and province. And some assume a missing payment means an error. After April 2025, it doesn’t.
Where the numbers come from
Program status and the April 2025 amounts come from Canada Revenue Agency pages on the Canada Carbon Rebate. The fuel charge removal comes from a CRA notice, and Saskatchewan’s announcement from the provincial government. We’re an independent site, and no government body is behind it.

No. The Canada Carbon Rebate for individuals ended, and the CRA says there were no quarterly payments after April 2025.

For the April 2025 quarter it was $206 for the first adult, $103 for a spouse and $51.50 per child, with a rural supplement on top.
Did income affect the amount?
No. The CRA says the rebate wasn't reduced by income.
