Did you know that the Indian Act S. 87 trumps other legislation like the Income Tax Act and the Excise Tax Act? But only if you are a 'status' Indians who carry the right card, and are earning income from property which includes income from sale of goods and services on a reserve.
If you are not a status Indian, if you visit a reserve to purchase goods or services, you should expect to pay GST/HST. There's only one card, and no, a Metis card won't cut it.
If a status Indian sells to another status Indian off reserve, it's a taxable event.
Want to know more? I've just added a web page on Native Indians with useful links to my TaxLinks Pro.
A TaxLinks Pro subscription, good until Oct 1, 2012 is $30 plus tax
