Aboriginal Tax Exemption

First Nations and Aboriginal customers are entitled to certain tax exemptions. To be able to claim these exemptions we need proof of status. Proof of status is your Aboriginal Status Card (Certificate of Indian Status card) or your Temporary Confirmation of registration Document (TCRD). You may be required to present other documents according to your ordering / delivery method.

If you are ordering via our website: you must email or fax us a copy of your Aboriginal Status Card (Certificate of Indian Status card) or your Temporary Confirmation of registration Document (TCRD) as well as a second form of ID that includes your name and address. The address on the ID must match either the shipping address or your home address. If the delivery address is on a reserve, you will be fully exempt from the tax. If the delivery address is off a reserve or you pick up your order at our warehouse, you pay 5% tax (in Ontario, or the full tax in any other province). To place an order via our website: do not pay at the checkout, instead select the “Bill Me Later” option and put your status card registration number or band number as your purchase order number. One your order has been placed, please contact us either by phone or email with your desired method of payment, and we will bill you according to the specific tax exemption that applies to your order.

If you would like to make an in-store order, you must present the original Status Card or TCRD. The same tax exemptions listed above apply, which is based on the shipping address/pickup.

If you are buying as an incorporated band entity, you must print out and sign the b-039b-3 form (see below) and send it back to us with the ID requirements listed above. Please refer to the chart below or contact us directly by email or phone.

If you are purchasing supplies that are to be sold in a store on a reserve, you must print out and sign the b-039b-3 form (see below): and send it back to us along with all of the ID requirements listed above.
