    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.
