Charging GST/HST in British Columbia: FAQ
What sales tax do I charge a British Columbia client?
On sales to customers in British Columbia, you charge 12% in total: 5% GST plus 7% PST.
What rate do I charge a client in another province?
For most sales, CRA's place-of-supply rules mean you charge the rate of the customer's province, not your own. For services it is generally based on the client's address, and for goods on where they are delivered. A British Columbia business invoicing an Ontario client usually charges 13% HST, and an Alberta client 5% GST. Use the calculator above to get the exact rate for any province pair.
Do I charge PST to clients outside British Columbia?
Generally no. PST applies to taxable sales made within British Columbia. It also generally does not apply to most services. When you invoice clients in other provinces, you follow GST/HST place-of-supply rules instead of charging PST.
