Actually NA do pay individual federal income tax and have been for a long time.
As far as I can find so do NA business except for a federal excise tax on alcohol and cigarettes.
Trying to figure out the State tax situation is hard, however I'm sure they pay State income tax and obviously business have not been paying a NY State excise tax on cigs sold to anyone on the rez. NY State wants to charge taxes for cigarettes sold to non-Natives on a rez. No NA would be charged the State tax for cigs bought on the rez.
I'm still trying to digest the article I posted above.
