Episode 15: Tax and benefit information for Indigenous people – Part 1

21 Sep 2026 · 23 min

Part 1 of this series will help Indigenous people navigate Canada’s tax system and access the benefit and credit payments they’re entitled to. Like any taxpayer, Indigenous people can benefit from filing an income tax and benefit return every year, even if their income is tax-exempt or if they have modest or no income. We will go through common questions and misconceptions, and highlight the importance of updating your personal info with the CRA year-round, so you have what you need to file a return and get what you’re entitled to. The Canada Revenue Agency acknowledges the prosperous lands across the nation that sustain us and enrich our lives. We recognize and extend our gratitude to the Indigenous Peoples who have cared for these lands and who continue to guide us in building respectful relationships rooted in the spirit of reconciliation.
