When business income is tax exempt for First Nations Canadians

Are First Nations Canadians exempt from paying income tax on self-employment income? First Nations Canadians with Indian status are not automatically exempt from paying income tax on self-employment or business income simply because they have Indian status. If they work off reserve, conduct all revenue-generating activity off reserve land, and have no real connection to reserve land, then typically First Nations individuals must pay income tax like everyone else. However, under certain circumstances like if the work is done on reserve, then some or all of the income of the First Nations individual can be exempt from paying income tax.
