About British Columbia Climate Action Tax Credit

The British Columbia climate action tax credit (BCCATC) is a tax-free payment made to low-income individuals and families to help offset the carbon taxes they pay.

For payments based on the 2023 income tax and benefit return (July 2024 to June 2025), BCCATC provides a maximum annual credit of $504.00 for single individuals and couples. Families will also receive $252.00 for a spouse or supporting person and $126.00 per child ($252.00 for the first child in a single parent family). For single individuals with no children, the credit will be reduced by 2% of the adjusted net income over $41,071.00. For single parents, or married or living in a common-law relationship couples, the credit will be reduced by 2% of the adjusted family net income over $57,288.00.

The payment is combined with the quarterly payment of the federal GST/HST credit.

To qualify for the 2023 benefit year (July 2024 - June 2025), you must be a resident of British Columbia and at least one of the following:

  • 19 years of age or older;
  • currently or previously married or in a common-law relationship;
