Canada - British Columbia provincial sales tax effective 1 April 

March 6:   Businesses need to be ready to face the new provincial sales tax (PST) in British Columbia, effective beginning 1 April 2013.

With less than one month left before the new tax system fully applies, businesses need to anticipate the challenges that a new tax system may bring.


Late last week, the British Columbia government released almost 200 pages of regulations related to the upcoming new PST. The new regulations reveal further details on PST exemptions and compliance requirements, among other information. This new information can help businesses complete the necessary changes and test their systems and processes to be ready for the 1 April 2013 transition date.

to go, are you?
