Climate action incentive payment (CAIP)

The Climate action incentive payment (CAIP) is a tax-free amount to help eligible individuals and families offset the cost of the federal pollution pricing. It consists of a basic amount and a supplement for residents of small and rural communities.

Before 2021, the Climate action incentive (CAI) was a refundable tax credit claimed annually on personal income tax returns.
