  • Provincial climate action tax credit being distributed

The B-C government says the first quarterly payment of the newly expanded and enhanced provincial climate action tax credit is being distributed this week.

The finance ministry says payments are set to arrive in the bank accounts of more than two million people after the province increased credit payments to help offset inflation. 

The government says a single person can now receive as much as 447-dollars per year, more than double the amount last year.

Meantime, a family of four can now receive up to 893-dollars, 390-dollars more than last year.
