Nekaneet First Nation in Saskatchewan...

Nekaneet First Nation in Saskatchewan will introduce its own Goods and Services Tax where the collected revenues will go back to the band instead of Ottawa. The initiative falls under the First Nations Goods and Services Act. Three years ago, Whitecap Dakota First Nation was the first to introduce such a tax in Saskatchewan. Nekaneet hopes to make up to $20,000 a month from the tax which it will use towards economic development.
