Residency information for tax administration agreements

The Government of Canada and the Tåîchô 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 Tåîchô Government. It also provides for the co‑ordination of the Tåîchô Income Tax Law with the federal Income Tax Act.

All individuals, including non-Tåîchô citizens, who reside on Tåîchô lands or in the Tåîchô communities of Behchokö (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 theNorthwest Territories 2011 Income Tax and Benefit Return.

Individuals, including Tåîchô citizens, who do not reside on Tåîchô lands or in a Tåîchô community should tick "No" in the "Residency information for tax administration agreements" box on page 1 of the Northwest Territories 2011 Income Tax and Benefit Return.

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