To ensure Kahnawakehró:non can rightfully shop with tax exemption, a band card accepted list was created. This listing provides Kahnawakehró:non with a list of merchants who comply with the agreement, and those who are illegally refusing tax exemption. Community members can avoid shopping at locations that do not comply.

The Revenu Quebec website has information in both English and French for Kahnawa'kehró:non and merchants who require the official notice. The links can be accessed below:
