Delegation under the

FIRST NATIONS GOODS AND SERVICES TAX ACT

Administrative Consolidation

Updated to January 29, 2016

Important note to users:

This consolidation has been prepared for convenience of reference only and has no official sanction.

The delegations listed below are effective October 2, 2004, unless otherwise indicated.

Officers authorized to exercise the powers and perform the duties of the Minister of National Revenue under the First Nations Goods and Services Tax Act.

  1. Persons holding the position of Commissioner, Deputy Commissioner and Assistant Commissioner in the Canada Revenue Agency, or a person authorized to perform the duties of one of those positions.
  2. Officers holding a position in the Canada Revenue Agency listed in the following Schedule, or a person authorized to perform the duties of that position, in respect of the provisions of the Act that are set out in the Schedule.

Note: The Commissioner, Deputy Commissioner and Assistant Commissioners are authorized to exercise all the powers and perform all the duties of the Minister under the First Nations Goods and Services Tax Act through the Authorization documents issued on October 28, 1999 and February 7, 2002, under section 8 of the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency Act.

Note: On December 12, 2005, the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency officially became the Canada Revenue Agency. Unless the context otherwise requires, any reference to the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency or the Commissioner of Customs and Revenue in documents issued before that date is to be read as a reference to the Canada Revenue Agency or the Commissioner of Revenue, as the case may be, in accordance with subsection 28(1) of the Canada Border Services Agency Act, S.C. 2005, c. 38.

Note regarding amendments to delegations: This consolidation includes all amendments made up to the date specified on the covering page. A history of when these amendments were made is listed under each provision.

Note: Where there is an administration agreement between a first nation and the Government of Canada in respect of a first nation law imposing a tax, the FNGST Act provides that the provisions of Part IX of the Excise Tax Act (GST) apply, with such modifications as the circumstances require, for the purposes of the first nation law. This extends to the exercise of authorities conferred under Part IX of the ETA.

As a result, the delegation of ministerial powers under Part IX of the ETA also applies to the administration of the first nation law.
