The British Columbia Climate Action Tax Credit (BCCATC) has been cancelled as of April 1, 2025, along with the cancellation of the carbon tax itself. This means there will be no more quarterly BCCATC payments. While the CRA will still issue retroactive payments for previous benefit years, the last BCCATC payment was on April 4, 2025.
