Yukon benefits for individuals and families
Yukon child benefit
This benefit is a non-taxable amount paid monthly to help low- and modest-income families with the cost of raising children under 18 years of age. This benefit is combined with the Canada child benefit into one monthly payment.
You do not need to apply for the Yukon child benefit. The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) will use the information from your Form RC66, Canada Child Benefits Application, to determine if you are entitled to receive this benefit.
Yukon government carbon price rebate - individuals
This rebate is a non-taxable amount paid to individuals and families to help offset the cost of the federal carbon pollution pricing levy. This amount is combined with the quarterly payment of the federal goods and services tax/harmonized sales tax (GST/HST) credit.
You do not need to apply for the GST/HST credit or the Yukon government carbon price rebate - individuals. The CRA will use the information from your return to determine if you are entitled to receive these credits. However, if you resided outside of Whitehorse on December 31, 2024, complete Part 1 of Schedule YT(S14), Yukon Government Carbon Price Rebate, to claim a 20% remote supplement.
For information about how businesses can apply for the rebate, see Yukon business carbon price rebate on page 7.
File your return
To make sure you get your payments on time, you and your spouse or common-law partner need to file your 2024 income tax and benefit return(s) by April 30, 2025. The CRA will use the information from your return(s) to calculate the payments you are entitled to get from these programs.
The Yukon child benefit and the Yukon government carbon price rebate are funded by the Government of Yukon.
