e-4564 (Taxation)
Original language of petition: English
Petition to the Government of Canada
- Accurate filing of yearly taxes is required by law;
- The Government of Canada recognizes that the honour of the Crown guides the conduct of the Crown in all of its dealings with Indigenous peoples;
- Tax-exempt retirement income can only be listed in the same box as taxable income resulting in undue stress, both financial and mental, being placed on the Indigenous population facing reassessments year over year;
- When an Indigenous individual contributes to CPP from their tax-exempt income, the CPP credits they earn are not registered as tax-exempt; and
- Due to gaps in the current filing regime, the Indigenous tax-exempt population is over-represented in reassessment claims, placing great strain on the community and on government resources.
