What is PST?
PST is a consumption tax that applies to retail sales and leases of taxable goods or services in British Columbia, and to taxable goods brought into the province for use. The person who purchases or uses the taxable good (new and used) or service pays the PST. PST should not be confused with GST, which is the federal goods and services tax. GST is paid to the federal government and has different rules and regulations. Please visit the Canada Revenue Agency website for more information about GST.
