The federal government has promised to return about $2.5 billion collected from small and medium-sized businesses in carbon pricing since 2019 .

Small businesses had complained repeatedly they were paying a significant portion of carbon pricing collected by Ottawa but were getting nothing back because 90% of the revenues collected were returned in rebates to households.

Individual businesses will start receiving their rebate with the amount depending on which province they operate in.
