Chief Commissioner – First Nations Tax

The First Nations Tax Commission is one of four First Nations institutions established through the First Nations Fiscal Management Act. The Act is a First Nations‑led, opt‑in legislation that strengthens First Nations governance by providing a legislative and institutional framework to support jurisdiction over financial management, property taxation and local revenues, and financing for infrastructure and economic development.

In carrying out its mandate, the Commission supports strong, fair, and transparent local revenue systems for First Nations across Canada. It promotes consistent and reliable approaches that respect the authority of First Nations governments while balancing the interests of taxpayers.

The Chief Commissioner of the First Nations Tax Commission provides executive leadership and strategic, operational and policy directions for the Commission, ensuring that it fulfils its legal and regulatory mandate under the Act. The Chief Commissioner leads the development of the forward vision for the expansion of First Nations taxation, jurisdiction and fiscal relations.
