New reserve-based gas station honours tax rights
Bayside Convenience and Gas sells fuel at 35% offWhat if we offered a service that rightfully belongs to Onkwehon:we?This thought is exactly what drove Gail (Scotty) Nelson and her husband Larry Daye to build a gas station that would provide fuel tax exemption to their clients.On October 6, Bayside Convenience store became the first gas station not only in Kanesatake but in its sister-community Kahnawake, where drivers can fill up their car without having to pay tax.“If you tank up, you save a lot of money,” said Nelson.The Revenu, Quebec program was introduced in 2011 so that anyone with a registration card from reserves or settlements could benefit from fuel tax exemption.
