Principal Issues: With respect to a status Indian employee whose employment income is tax-exempt, how should a benefit be taxed with respect to an employer-owned vehicle used for personal use by the employee, both on and off-reserve.
Position: To the extent that such a benefit would otherwise be included in income under paragraph 6(1)(e) and 6(1)(k), the amount is taxed in the same manner as the individual's employment income.
Reasons: Consistent with the Indian Act Exemption for Employment Income Guidelines
