The Oneida Nation of Wisconsin is debating whether to impose a sales tax on the reservation, WLUK reported. The 5 percent tax on retailers would be in addition to the state's 5 percent tax. It would be imposed on all businesses -- Walmart, Sam's Club and Home Depot are among those operating on tribal land, the station reported. Revenues could be used to fund the tribe's per capita payment, according to a referendum approved by tribal members in July 2015, the station reported. This year's payment was $1,000, with elders over the ages of 62 and 65 receiving additional funds. The tribe is still in the early stages of discussing the tax, a spokesperson told WLUK.
