When employment income is tax exempt for First Nations Canadians

Are First Nations Canadians exempt from paying income tax on employment income? First Nations Canadians with Indian status are not automatically exempt from paying income tax on employment income simply because they have Indian status. If they are employed off reserve for a company that conducts its revenue-generating activity off reserve land and have no real connection to reserve land, then typically First Nations individuals must pay employment 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.
