Canada Child Benefit
The Canada Child Benefit (CCB) is a tax-free monthly payment made to eligible families to help with the cost of raising children under 18 years of age. The CRA uses your tax return and residency information to determine eligibility and benefit amounts, which are indexed and may change each July.

How benefits are calculated
The CRA uses adjusted family net income, number of eligible children, ages, and shared custody arrangements where applicable. Provincial and territorial child benefit programs may be combined with the CCB in a single monthly payment in some jurisdictions.
If your marital status, custody, or residency changes, notify the CRA promptly. Overpayments may be recovered from future payments or your tax refund.
Shared custody percentages must match what courts or agreements actually say—mismatches between parents trigger painful reconciliation mail. Indigenous governance contexts or international custody can add complexity beyond this mock; link out to specialist guidance in production.
