    If you’re in a province where the carbon price is federally run, you get the rebate. The average person should break even with the rebate.

      You need to make less then 60 grand to get rebates. I make more so no rebates

      Edit 50 grand . In my case I make enough that I get nothing back. This whole family income deal sucks.

        Then you are in a province where the carbon price is not run by the fed. The fed says every province has to have a carbon price, but has minimal opinion on where the revenue goes. If a province does not implement their own system, then they get the federal carbon tax-and-rebate system.

        The federal tax-and-rebate system has no income rules. You can be broke or a billionaire you still get your cut. The amount is based on province (the ctax money does not leave the province), family size, and urban vs rural (rural folks get a bigger chunk of the pie).

          How the fuck do you figure that. It specifically gives a income amount and threshold. I make over a certain amount so no return. They adjust it to family income. How is that spreading bullshit?

            Because the federal carbon tax rebate has no income threshold, I would know since I get it and my income is double your theoretical threshold.
