Businesses can find provincial sales tax (PST) exemption and application
information for the return to a PST and GST system in recently released PST
bulletins and notices.
Government
has released more than half-a-dozen publications providing plain-language
guidance on the application of PST and related exemptions, subject to approval
of the legislature, that B.C. businesses require to successfully transition
back to the PST. As committed, the PST is being re-implemented on April 1,
2013, with all permanent exemptions.
Since
Oct. 1, 2012, the following notices and bulletins have been released and are
available on the Business and Investing page of the BC Government website.
