Application / Regulation advice Sales tax on first Nations territory.

Hi,

As a law‑abiding citizen, I’m trying to find out whether gun stores on First Nations territory charge sales tax on firearms and ammunition. I’d hate to drive two hours only to discover they don’t charge it. Does anyone know? I’m especially wondering about Kahnawake. I'm not a member of the First Nations.

Thanks in advance!

Depends. Where I go, nobody pays taxes. They have no love for the government. Gas, tobacco, ammo... I've never had to pay taxes for any of them.

Are you in eastern Ontario? If not, I shouldn't really flag them.

Bullshit. If it’s a licensed business they’ll be on the hook for pst/gst/gst on any non FN sales.

There's several gas stations on band land in BC that openly sell tax exempt fuel to whitey. And they're not out in the sticks either.

Damn near all of em in SW Ontario. And in some cases these aren't small two pump outfits, there's one that comss to mind that puts most of the stations in the city to shame, size, number of pumps, stuff they offer on site, etc.

Well, I can repeat myself, I suppose, for the people who don't come with me to the Rez. Or you could just re-read it. Either way, what I said is true. The government will never go after them because it's very bad press to go after FN for a small amount of tax dollars, especially when they have know idea how much is even unpaid.
