President, Nisga'a Lisims Government

Thank you for the question.

We do have the authority to levy taxes. It has been a work in progress since 2015, I believe, with the property tax and coordination agreement.

Our nation is fully aware that we require these taxes in order to become truly self-governing. The property tax in each of our communities is ongoing. Our members have been paying property tax since 2013 or 2015.
