It's not cool, and not who the benefits are designed for, and how they are designed to be used. At that point it's just a straight up tax scam IMHO.
What tax advantages and benefits? Just curious because aside from the white card (fuel and tobacco tax exemption) there really aren’t any benefits I’m aware of unless you also live on a reserve as well.
