British Columbia Provincial Sales Tax – New Registration Requirements

The Government of British Columbia announced in the 2020 Budget that new Provincial Sales Tax (PST) registration requirements will apply as of July 1, 2020.

Canadian sellers of goods, as well as Canadian and foreign sellers of software and telecommunications services, will be required to register to collect PST if their specified BC revenues exceed $10,000. In addition, all Canadian vendors of steam-based products will be required to register if they deliver steam-based products to consumers in British Columbia. These requirements will result in more businesses in the digital economy collecting provincial sales tax.
