First Nations Tax Commission (FNTC)
Description
Excerpted from the website:
- About the FNTC
- In 1988, amendments to the Indian Act extended the taxing powers of First Nations to their interests in conditionally surrendered or "designated" lands. This First Nation-led change to the Indian Act gave First Nations broad new powers to tax the interests within the reserve, thereby establishing their jurisdiction, creating economic development opportunities and providing a basic tool for self-government. The Indian Taxation Advisory Board (ITAB) was established in 1989 to complement the amendments to the Indian Act and to facilitate the approval of First Nation taxation bylaws. As such, ITAB became the first independent, Aboriginal-controlled institution involved in the exercise of the Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development (DIAND) decision-making authority under the Indian Act.
