The Canada Carbon Rebate for Small Businesses is now non-taxable for all fuel charge years.

Here’s what this means for your business:

➡️ If you filed your T2 Corporation Income Tax Return before June 30th, 2025, and your rebate was clearly reported on Line 295 of Schedule 1, we’ll adjust your return automatically to remove the rebate from your taxable income. No further action is needed.

➡️If you filed your T2 return after June 30th, 2025, and included the rebate in your taxable income, you’ll need to submit an adjustment request.
