On-reserve retailers purchase their fuel and tobacco products from their Saskatchewan suppliers on a tax-included basis. However, when these products are sold on reserve to status Indians who present their valid Certificate of Indian Status Identification Card, the products are sold tax-free. To get a refund of the tax, the retailer must submit, to Saskatchewan Finance, the details of their purchases of fuel and tobacco products and sales made to status Indians.
