Our Services
Recovering Overpaid Federal Tax Dollars: Many band activities, including band management and real property purchases on a reserve, qualify for significant GST/HST relief. We specialize in identifying all eligible purchases, from large capital projects to operational expenses, and preparing rebate claims.
GST/HST Rebates
Maximizing Rebates for Exempt Services: As public service bodies, First Nations and band-empowered entities are often entitled to a substantial rebate (up to 100% of the GST in some cases) on the tax paid for purchases used in non-commercial activities like healthcare, education, or community services. We ensure your entity is properly categorized and all qualifying transactions are claimed under the PSB Rebate Program.
Public Service Body Rebates
Navigating Complex Provincial Tax Exemptions: We conduct a thorough review of your purchases to recover provincial sales taxes that were incorrectly charged on eligible goods and services, securing refunds that can date back up to four years.
Provincial Sales Tax Refund
Recovery of fuel taxes on qualifying purchases.
Filing compliance for GST and PST for commercial activities.

The On-Site Advantage: Our Zero-Disruption Review
We believe the most successful recovery is built on a foundation of trust and meticulous detail. That's why we bring our expertise directly to your office, ensuring a secure and comprehensive review of your records without removing any original documents.
What We Do On-Site: Maximizing Your Claim
Our physical presence on-site allows for a deep, transaction-by-transaction review that maximizes your financial recovery across all categories (GST/HST, Fuel, PSB, and PST).
Meticulous Document Review: We examine hard-copy invoices, ledgers, and travel claims—sources often overlooked—to capture every eligible expense.
Zero-Risk Handling: No original documents ever leave your office. We perform all reviews on-site and use scanning equipment to digitally capture only the specific invoices and supporting materials required for the rebate claims.
Secure & Confidential: Your financial data and records remain within your secure environment at all times. This process ensures complete confidentiality and prevents the risk of loss or misplacement of critical documents.
Staff Training & Collaboration: We work directly with your existing finance or administration team, providing valuable insights and clarity on how to reduce future bills and develop strategies to save money in the future.
Our No-Risk Commitment: A Contingency-Based Partnership
We eliminate the financial risk for your community by operating on a contingency-based model. We only succeed when you do.
Contingency-Based Invoicing: We do not invoice for our services, time, or expenses until your rebate claim has been successfully processed, and the funds are received by your Band or Band-Empowered Entity.
Risk-Free Engagement: This means there is zero upfront cost to conduct the review and submit the claims. Our fee is a pre-agreed-upon percentage of the recovered funds—ensuring our goals are perfectly aligned with yours: maximum recovery.
All-Inclusive Service: Our guarantee includes covering all of our travel, accommodation, and related operating expenses during the on-site review. These costs are part of our operational model, never an extra charge to you.
The bottom line: We invest our time and expertise upfront. Your community receives the significant financial return they are entitled to.
Predictable Recovery
Maximize your cash flow and ensure continuous recovery with our subscription-based service model. We handle the ongoing administrative burden of tax recovery, allowing you to focus on other priorities.
We offer flexible scheduling options to match your organization's financial cycles and transaction volume, all without any long-term commitment:
Semi-Annual Service: Perfect for entities with high volumes of transactions (like capital projects or ongoing travel) or for communities that need faster access to recovered funds. We process comprehensive claims twice per year.
Annual Service: An effective and efficient option for ensuring a thorough review and claim submission once per year, keeping your administrative workload streamlined.
Benefits of Regular Rebate Filing
Continuous Compliance: Regular filing ensures you meet the strict deadlines for various rebates (GST/HST, PSB, etc.), protecting your eligibility and preventing claims from expiring.
Predictable Cash Flow: Moving to a scheduled review provides a predictable source of recovered funds that can be factored into your operational and capital planning.
Ongoing Support: With a regular service, we maintain an active knowledge of your Band's specific purchasing patterns, making each subsequent review faster and even more effective.
