Determine whether you live on Indigenous government lands
If you are a resident of Newfoundland and Labrador, the Northwest Territories, or Yukon, you must identify on your return if you resided on the settlement lands of an Indigenous government.
The Residency information for tax administration agreements section on page 2 of your return includes one or more questions depending on where you live. It is important to fill out this section to make sure that the correct amount of revenue is directed to the appropriate Indigenous government.
You can find out if your residence is on Indigenous government lands with a First Nation Personal Income Tax agreement by using the following table.
