The First Nations Tax Commission (FNTC) is one of three First Nation institutions created through the First Nations Fiscal Management Act (the Act or FMA). The Act is a First Nations-led, opt-in legislation that provides First Nations with a legislative and institutional framework to exercise jurisdiction in the areas of financial management and taxation and provides a mechanism for First Nations to access long-term financing at preferred rates through the issuance of bonds on capital markets, similar to other governments in Canada.The FNTC regulates, supports and advances First Nation taxation under the FMA and under section 83 of the Indian Act. It reviews and approves local revenue laws, builds capacity, reconciles First Nation government and taxpayer interests, and provides research, advocacy and services to advance First Nation jurisdiction.As a shared governance institution, the FNTC is not an agent of the Crown except for local revenue laws approval and is accountable to the Minister of Crown-Indigenous Relations.Commissioners of the First Nations Tax Commission are responsible for the overall direction of the Commission, ensuring that it fulfils its legal and regulatory mandate under the Act. To this end, among other duties, Commissioners support the development and promotion of a framework of laws and standards that enable First Nation governments with property tax systems to maintain their tax jurisdiction; review and approve local revenue regimes for participating First Nations; provide dispute resolution services and adjudicated decisions that are equitable and fair; and help to develop strategies and approaches to promote and foster First Nation understanding of the concepts, principles and processes for real property taxation as a sustainable source of revenue.
