In July 2016, the Government replaced the Universal Childcare Benefit (UCCB) and the Canadian Child Tax Benefit (CCTB) with the Canada Child Benefit (CCB), a benefit paid monthly to help eligible families provide child care for their children under 18 years of age. The CCB provides families up to $6,400 annually for a child less than 6 years of age, and up to $5,400 annually for a child aged 6 to 17. The CCB benefit is reduced based on the family’s income and the number of children. When the family’s income exceeds $30,000 or there is more than one child in a family whose income exceeds $30,000, the CCB starts being reduced, and, eventually, the CCB benefit reaches $0. The CCB benefit is tax free. One must apply for CCB through Canada Revenue Agency. | In July 2016, the Government replaced the Universal Childcare Benefit (UCCB) and the Canadian Child Tax Benefit (CCTB) with the Canada Child Benefit (CCB), a benefit paid monthly to help eligible families provide child care for their children under 18 years of age.
