Northwest Territories cost of living offset
The Northwest Territories cost of living offset (NTCOLO) is a tax-free amount paid to individuals and families to help offset the cost of the Northwest Territories carbon tax. The amount is combined with the quarterly payments of the federal GST/HST credit.
The Government of the Northwest Territories has cancelled the NTCOLO. As a result, the last NTCOLO payments were issued on April 4, 2025. However, the CRA will continue to issue retroactive payments for previous benefit years.
This program is fully funded by the Government of the Northwest Territories.
