How to Comply with the New PST Expansion in BC

Zoom

Description

Effective October 1, 2026, British Columbia's Provincial Sales Tax (PST) will apply to certain professional services.  On September 15th, 2026, from 10:00 am – 11:15 am PST, BOMA BC will be hosting representatives from the BC Ministry of Finance for a practical overview of how to comply with PST legislation, with a focus on Non-residential real estate services, including trading services, rental property management services and strata management services. This webinar will cover specific services included in each category of taxable services, key exemptions and exclusions, transition rules, PST registration and remittance requirements, and common compliance questions. Attendees will also have the opportunity to ask Ministry representatives questions during a live Q&A session.

Important reminder: It can take up to 21 days for a new PST registrant to receive a PST number, and a PST number is required before PST can be charged. You must begin charging PST starting on Oct 1st, 2026. Please ensure you are adequately prepared for the October 1st deadline. We suggest you review Notice 2026-001: Notice to Provider of Professional Services, which provides key details for each professional service.
