The Government of Canada has ended the federal consumer pricing program, effective April 1, 2025. This decision has ended the flow of consumer carbon pricing revenues to the Yukon. Therefore, the Yukon’s carbon rebate program is being phased out. Visit Climate change in the Yukon to learn how you can reduce your emissions.
From 2019 to 2025, the following groups have been eligible for the Yukon government Carbon Price Rebate:
- Yukon individuals;
- Yukon businesses;
- mining businesses;
- First Nations governments; and
- municipal governments.
These groups will receive their final payments through the Yukon’s carbon rebate program in 2025.
Rebates were calculated using forecasts to estimate fuel use in the territory, with the goal of each group getting more on average in rebates than they paid in carbon levies.
Individuals received their final carbon rebate payments on April 4, 2025.
