Billions in carbon rebates for small businesses won't be taxed, Ottawa confirms

Small businesses may not have to pay income tax on carbon rebates they receive, if draft legislation issued by federal Finance Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne Monday comes to pass. Article content Although the Canadian government axed the federal consumer fuel charge tax as of April 1, there are still final payments to come for these rebates for the 2024-25 year for eligible small businesses and these will be tax-free. Past payments from previous years will also not be included as taxable income. Article content Article content Article content Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB). Article content But businesses will likely have to file amended returns once the legislation is formally approved, adding to their paperwork, said Rob Jeffery, a partner in consultancy Deloitte's LLP's tax practice. The process could also take several months. Article content The government said on its website that it will introduce legislation in Parliament to implement these changes in the fall once it receives Royal Assent. This would allow the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) to process amended corporate income tax returns. Article content 'With the consumer fuel charge gone, we are able to refocus federal carbon pollution pricing standards on ensuring that carbon pricing systems are in place across Canada on a broad range of greenhouse gas emissions from industry,' Champagne said in a statement. 'In doing so, we will ensure a system that is fair and effective.' Article content Article content The carbon rebate for small businesses, launched in 2024, provided automatic, refundable tax credits to about 600,000 small- and medium-sized corporations across the county to offset the costs of the carbon tax. Article content Article content These rebates were paid out in December for the five years the federal fuel charge applied, starting in 2019 (though some provinces introduced the carbon tax in later years). The final instalment for the 2024-2025 tax year has not yet been paid out. Article content However, the CRA said in February that since there was no amended legislation by Parliament to make these rebates tax-free, this meant they would still be subject to taxes. Article content The draft legislation introduced on Monday aims to rectify this issue.

World-Leading Breakthrough! Risen Energy's HJT Modules Hit Average 740Wp Mass Production with Record 26.61% Cell Efficiency

NINGBO, China, July 2, 2025 /CNW/ -- A milestone in global heterojunction (HJT) photovoltaic technology! Risen Energy Co., Ltd. (Stock Code: 300118) today announced its self-developed Hyper-ion HJT modules have achieved a groundbreaking 740Wp average mass-production power, setting a new industry efficiency benchmark. With certified cell conversion efficiency of 26.61%, this innovation demonstrates immediate R&D-to-production integration. This breakthrough cements Risen Energy's leadership in high-efficiency PV industrialization. Core Innovations: Patent-Protected Tech & Cost-Performance Revolution Leveraging National Key Research and Developement Program, Risen Energy's proprietary technologies deliver structural optimization and drastic cost reduction while maintaining peak efficiency: Metallization Upgrade: Silver consumption slashed to 5mg/W (↓37.5% vs. TOPCon), driving non-silicon cost reduction via stencil printing. Low CTM Loss Encapsulation: Module CTM (Cell-To-Module) loss minimized to 1.8% with cell breakage-rates under 0.03%, enabling high-yield manufacturing. Dual Advantages: High Energy Yield & Ultra-Low Carbon The 740W Hyper-ion module's -0.24%/°C temperature coefficient and 90% bifaciality delivered 4.09% higher power output than TOPCon at SGS Saudi Arabia's test site. Peak monthly gains hit 6.04% in August, proving its "higher heat, higher yield" reliability. Per 100MW project, this translates to: +3 million kWh annual power generation 2,880 tons CO₂ reduction Carbon footprint as low as 376.5kg eq CO₂/kWc Global Market Momentum As the prime solution for utility-scale, commercial/industrial, and high-temperature projects, Risen Hyper-ion Pro series HJT modules dominate: 9GW+ 2025 HJT-specific tenders in China (led by state-owned giants like China Green Dev./CGN etc.) Expansion to 50+ countries across Middle East/Southeast Asia 6%+ verified energy gain in Saudi/UAE high-irradiation regions, slashing LCOE. Vision from Leadership Dr. Yang Pochuan, Dean of Risen Global PV Research Institute: "We're targeting >27% cell efficiency and 790W+ monocrystalline modules within 3 years. Our perovskite tandem tech will enable 850Wp+ mass production by 2028, advancing the world's net-zero transition with 'China Solutions'. SOURCE Risen Energy Co., Ltd
