REGINA — In October, Saskatchewan families will receive their latest quarterly installment from the Climate Action Incentive payment.
According to the federal government, for the 2022-23 fiscal year, a family of four will receive $1,101 in Saskatchewan from the annual payments. The program in Saskatchewan provides an annual credit of $550 for an individual, $275 for a spouse or common-law partner, $138 per child under 19 and $275 for the first child in a single-parent family
The quarterly payments replace an annual credit from previous years. Canadians living in those provinces where the federal pollution pricing system applies — Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta — started receiving the first quarterly payment in July. Instead of being paid entirely at once, the first payment was a double-up payment to return proceeds from the first two quarters of the 2022-23 year for April-June and July-September.
The next quarterly payments are in October 2022 and January 2023; Canadians can receive the payments by direct deposit and can sign up for that. Also, it should be noted those in rural and small communities are eligible to receive an additional 10 per cent.
Full details are found on the Climate Action Incentive payment webpage.
