Have Status. Shop Indigenous.
HaveStatus is a free community resource that helps Indigenous people across Canada find tax-exempt purchases, Indigenous-owned businesses, and authentic Indigenous goods — saving money and supporting Indigenous economies.
HaveStatus was born from a simple daily moment: standing at the till and saying "I have status." We built this so every Status card holder can instantly find businesses that honour that card — no awkward explanations, no missed savings, just community supporting community.
What you'll find
- Tax-free fuel stations — on-reserve gas bars where status card holders save on fuel tax and PST/HST
- Indigenous-owned hotels & resorts — stay at places that give back to communities
- Restaurants & cafes — Indigenous-owned eateries with traditional and contemporary cuisine
- Indigenous goods — authentic art, clothing, carvings, and products by Indigenous artisans
- Tours & services — Indigenous-led cultural experiences and wildlife tours
Tax exemption quick guide
Who qualifies: Registered Indians (status card holders) under the Indian Act are exempt from certain taxes on goods purchased or delivered on-reserve.
What's exempt: Varies by province. Generally includes PST/HST on goods purchased on-reserve and provincial fuel tax at on-reserve stations. Always bring your status card.
Note: Tax rules vary by province. HaveStatus provides general guidance — always confirm with the business. This is not legal or tax advice.
