LIST OF INDIAN TRIBAL GOVERNMENTS TREATED AS POLITICAL SUBDIVISIONS OF STATES

Rev. Proc. 84-36

SECTION 1. PURPOSE

The purpose of this revenue procedure is to provide a list of subdivisions of Indian tribal governments that are to be treated as political subdivisions of states for specified purposes under the Internal Revenue Code for a two-year period.

SECTION 2. BACKGROUND

01 The Indian Tribal Governmental Tax Status Act of 1982, (Title II of Pub. L. No. 97-473, 96 Stat. 2605, 2607-11, as amended by Pub. L. No. 98-21, 97 Stat. 65, 87 (1983-1 C.B. 510, 511)) added certain provisions to the Code that pertain to the status of Indian tribal governments. For two years beginning in 1983, Indian tribal governments (or subdivisions thereof) will be treated as states (or political subdivisions thereof) for specified federal tax purposes. For example, under new section 7871 of the Code interest on public activity bonds issued during the years 1983 and 1984 by a tribal government may be tax exempt, and a tribal government will be entitled to exemption from certain excise taxes. Also, charitable contributions made in 1983 and 1984 to or for the use of a tribal government may be deductible under federal gift and estate tax laws. Charitable contributions made during a taxpayer's tax years beginning in 1983 and 1984 may be deductible under the federal income tax laws.

02 The term "Indian tribal government" is defined under section 7701(a)(40) of the Code (as amended) to mean the governing body of any tribe, band, community, village or group of Indians, or (if applicable) Alaska Natives, that is determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, after consultation with the Secretary of the Interior to exercise governmental functions. Section 7871(d) of the Code provides that for purposes of section 7871, a subdivision of an Indian tribal government shall be treated as a political subdivision of a state if (and only if) the Secretary of the Treasury determines (after consultation with the Secretary of the Interior) that such subdivision has been delegated the right to exercise one or more of the substantial governmental functions of the Indian tribal government.

03 A list of Indian tribal entities that exercise governmental functions for purposes of section 7871 of the Code has been published as Revenue Procedure 83-87, 1983-50 I.R.B. 6.
