The Province of Manitoba has recently announced the 2023 Carbon Tax Relief Fund, an initiative aimed at helping Manitobans cope with the negative effects of rising winter costs. The program will offer financial assistance to approximately 700,000 Manitobans who meet certain eligibility criteria.
The first of the cheques were mailed out on the week of February 20. However, it may take up to six weeks for all cheques to be mailed given the significant number of cheques that need to be sent. Therefore, recipients should be patient and wait for their cheque to arrive in the mail. The Manitoba government will not contact individuals about this program. Cheques will be mailed by Manitoba Finance to the recipient’s address as reflected on their 2021 tax return. This approach is intended to streamline the process and ensure that assistance is provided to those who need it most.
To be eligible for the program, Manitoba residents must have been 18 years or older on December 31, 2021, and have a family net income of under $175,000 as per their 2021 Manitoba income tax return. Those who meet these criteria will receive financial assistance in the form of a cheque.

Single individuals will receive $225, while couples will receive $375, with the lower income earner receiving the payment. The program is designed to help individuals and families cover the costs associated with increased energy bills during the winter months, which can be a significant burden for many households.
In addition to providing immediate relief to those who are struggling, programs like the Carbon Tax Relief Fund can also encourage individuals and families to adopt more sustainable practices in their daily lives. By reducing their energy consumption and carbon footprint, individuals can help to mitigate the effects of climate change and protect the planet for future generations.
Overall, the 2023 Carbon Tax Relief Fund is a welcome initiative that will provide much-needed support to Manitobans during the winter months. By helping individuals and families cope with rising energy costs, this program will help to reduce inequality and promote a more sustainable future for everyone.
