For those who live here in BC, you may be aware that back in February a government legislation was passed where BC residents will receive $100 as part of the climate action dividend. Essentially, the intent of this money is that we put it towards buying things that cost a little more which would help the environment to raise awareness about climate change. You can read more about it at the small business and revenue site.
Now for most people you won’t have to do anything more as you should have already filed your tax returns by now. Based on what I read, people can start to expect to receive their $100 starting at about mid June of this year. What was interesting that I read though was that even children qualified for this payment.
Essentially, if you have say two kids then you can apply for another $100 for each child. However, the child must be registered with the Canada child tax benefit. So if you haven’t already and need to, contact the Canada Revenue Agency and apply for it. You can find more information about it at the site above.
