You may have noticed cheaper gas advertised at stations on First Nations reserves. This is often because on-reserve Native owned businesses are exempt from some taxes. The rules differ across different provinces/territories but this is generally the case. Many First Nation gas stations will pass these tax-savings on to customers. Offering lower prices at the pumps to both status and non-status customers. Additionally in most provinces those with a Status Card are entitled to even cheaper gas. With a status card gas purchased for personal use, on-reserve is tax-exempt. Some provinces/territories have different rules. You can checkout our province specific pages for more details.
