Queens County residents should start receiving their federal carbon tax rebates this week.

The range for Nova Scotia is from $124 for a single adult to $248 for a family of four.

You don’t need to apply for the rebate. If you’ve filed a tax return, you automatically receive it.

The federal government says about 12 million Canadians will receive about $2.3 billion to offset the cost of increased federal taxes on oil and gas.
