The Mohawk Council of Kahnawà:ke (MCK) wishes to inform the community that Ratsénhaienhs Jeffrey Diabo recently met with representatives from Quebec to address growing reports that certain businesses within the region are declining to honor the Band Card for point-of-sale tax exemption.
Additionally, a growing issue is complaints about on-territory deliveries that do not respect the tax exemption.
The Québec representatives have committed to following up on the issue. The MCK requests community members’ assistance in identifying any businesses refusing to accept the tax exemption at the point of sale. When reporting an incident, please include:
- Business name and location
- Name of Manager, Owner, or Employee involved
- Date and time of the interaction
- The reason provided for refusal
We ask that all interactions remain courteous and that all incidents be reported accordingly. For details on the Special Measures for the Mohawks of Kahnawà:ke, visit the Revenue Quebec website.
The MCK remains committed to upholding the agreement with Quebec and ensuring compliance. Please note that there have been no amendments to the 1999 agreement.
Incident submissions can be sent to taxissues@mck.ca or by reporting to Tricia Collier by telephone at 450-638-0500. Incidents are compiled and submitted to Revenue Quebec weekly.
For any additional information, please write to taxissues@mck.ca.
