Recent Provincial Sales Tax Updates

This Tax Alert sets out provincial sales tax (PST) updates released by the Provinces of Saskatchewan and British Columbia (BC) over the last few months. Our Tax Alert is not intended to cover all of the miscellaneous changes from the spring provincial budgets for each province, however our coverage of those changes can be found here. In particular, both provinces have introduced new rules that require certain non-resident suppliers to register for PST, even if the supplier does not have a physical presence in the province. Additionally, the Province of BC has introduced a temporary PST rebate for select machinery and equipment purchased between September 17, 2020 and September 30, 2021.
