Taxation Authority and Administration

Under the authority of the First Nations Fiscal Management Act (FMA), WDFN implemented real property taxation laws which has enabled the First Nation to levy and collect annual property taxes in the same manner as other governments. Real property taxation provides the First Nation with a stable source of revenue which is reinvested to improve programs and services, quality of life, and community infrastructure to accommodate the continued growth at Whitecap.

Property Assessments

Each year, the Saskatchewan Assessment Management Agency (SAMA) provides WDFN with up-to-date property assessments. Assessments represent the value of property for property tax purposes determined in accordance with legislation. SAMA provides the First Nation with tools to be successful with on-reserve assessments and consistency year after year. This contributes to taxpayer's confidence within the WDFN taxation system.

WDFN tax rates are set in accordance with the First Nations Tax Commission (FNTC) standards and are typically based on the First Nations budgetary requirements and the tax rates set out by adjacent local governments (reference jurisdictions). The Annual Tax Rates Law sets out the rates for each property class (ie. Residential, Commercial, Industrial) and is approved by the FNTC before enactment at the First Nation level to ensure accuracy, consistency and compliance under the FMA.
