ARCHIVED - Residency information for tax administration agreements

The Government of Canada and the Tłįchǫ Government have concluded a personal income tax administration agreement that provides that the Government of Canada will share the field of personal income tax with the Tłįchǫ Government. It also provides for the co‑ordination of the Tłįchǫ Income Tax Law with the federal Income Tax Act.

All individuals, including non-Tłįchǫ citizens, who reside on Tłįchǫ lands or in the Tłįchǫ communities of Behchokǫ̀ (Rae-Edzo), Whatì (Lac La Martre), Gamètì (Rae Lakes), or Wekweètì (Snare Lake) are required to identify themselves by ticking “Yes” in the “Residency information for tax administration agreements” box on page 1 of the Northwest Territories 2010 Income Tax and Benefit Return.

Individuals, including Tłįchǫ citizens, who do not reside on Tłįchǫ lands or in a Tłįchǫ community should tick “No” in the “Residency information for tax administration agreements” box on page 1 of the Northwest Territories 2010 Income Tax and Benefit Return.

The Canada Revenue Agency will use this information to administer the personal income tax administration agreement with the Tłįchǫ Government.
