Taxation by Indigenous Governments
  • Over the past few decades, Indigenous governments across Canada have imposed several types of taxes on their reserves or settlement lands.
  • These Indigenous governments have the right to implement these taxes under both the Indian Act and the First Nations Fiscal Management Act (FNFMA).
  • This page includes the benefits of the taxations, the types of taxes imposed by Aboriginal governments, and the specific taxes for the provinces and territories.
