9.1. A tribal council or a band-empowered entity that acquires fuel for its own consumption from a fuel retail outlet operated on a reserve by a retail dealer holding a registration certificate provided for in section 23 is exempt from the payment of the tax provided for in section 2 if the prescribed conditions are met in respect of that acquisition.
However, in the case of the acquisition of fuel by a band-empowered entity that is a legal person, the first paragraph applies only if the fuel is intended for band management activities.
