Download or read book Section 125 written by Christopher Joseph Great-Sky (McLeod) and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2024-05-15 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since time immemorial, the Indigenous Peoples of Canada have been stewards of the land. And yet, they experience the highest levels of poverty in Canada. According to Statistics Canada, 44 percent of Indigenous Peoples lived in poverty in 2020. How is this disparate level of poverty possible? To answer that, author Christopher Joseph Great-Sky (McLeod) says we must start with the Canadian constitution. Section 125: Tax-Exemption of Indians and Indian Bands is a critical examination of the Canadian government, constitution, and tax laws, and their impact on the Indigenous Peoples of Canada. Great-Sky provides a thorough analysis of section 125 of the constitution and the sections 87, 89, and 90 of the Indian Act, the primary law the federal government uses to administer Indigenous status, local First Nations governments, and the management of reserve land. This breakdown of legal documents and laws clearly illustrates Canada’s systemic racism and hypocrisy. Great-Sky asks: If Indigenous Peoples are tax exempt by federal laws, why are we still paying taxes? Why is no court willing to recognize these exemptions? While relations between the federal government and Indigenous Peoples are complex, Section 125 shows that positive change is possible. From lawyers to judges, law schools to the court system, anyone can take action. Judicial reform is the catalyst to move Indigenous Peoples from poverty to prosperity and finally achieve true reconciliation and healing.

Indigenous Writes is one title in The Debwe Series.
Download or read book Analysis of the Positive Tax Law Affecting First Nations in the Context of Canadian Tax Policy written by and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Section 87 of the 'Indian Act'1 contains a tax exemption for 'Indians' and 'bands' insofar as their property is located on a reserve. This thesis explores the historical origins, justification, and the scope of the 'Indian Act' tax exemption, and considers its effect on Canadian tax policy. For any tax system to operate fairly and efficiently, all citizens within the subject jurisdiction must be chargeable to tax at a 'pro rata' rate. This idea is borne out within the Canadian tax system itself, which uses domicile to determine whether an individual should be required to bear a horizontally and vertically equitable tax burden. Having said that, there is an historical and legal rationale for exempting reserve-based Indians from the tax structure, whereby reserved lands are treated as extra-territorial entities, separate from Canada for tax purposes. At present, band councils are not legally entitled to levy a tax on their reserve residents, and until such time as First Nations are in a position to 'self-govern', without relying solely upon federal transfer payments, Canada's tax system can never be truly equitable or efficient. 1The 'Indian Act', RSC 1985, c. I-5.
