Taxation is an important element of the Tsawwassen Final Agreement as it can contribute to the foundation of future revenue capacity for the Tsawwassen First Nation government. The Indian Act tax exemption for Tsawwassen members will be phased out after eight years for transaction (i.e., sales) taxes and 12 years for other taxes, including income tax. The Tsawwassen First Nation government will have the ability to levy direct taxes on its members within Tsawwassen Lands.
