Under the Indian Act, the personal property of an Indian or a band situated on a reserve and the interest of an Indian or a band in reserve lands or surrendered lands are exempt from taxation. Under the Québec tax system, this exemption takes the form of a deduction granted to the individual. Therefore, an individual who is an Indian may deduct any amount he or she includes in calculating his or her income for the year that is income situated on a reserve. This deduction covers, in particular, the income of an Indian from an office or employment, to the extent that the income is earned on a reserve.
