Setting Up Provincial Business Accounts

Ensure Your Business is Compliant with BC Provincial Sales Tax (PST) Regulations

In British Columbia, businesses that sell taxable goods, software, or services must register for a Provincial Sales Tax (PST) account. Unlike GST/HST, which is federally managed, PST is a provincial tax specific to BC, and failing to register can result in penalties and interest charges.

At Westview Accounting & Tax Services Inc., we handle the entire PST registration process for businesses in North Vancouver, BC, ensuring that you remain compliant with British Columbia’s tax regulations.


Does Your Business Need a PST Account?

Many businesses operating in BC must register, collect, and remit PST to the province. You likely need a PST account if your business:

Sells taxable goods (e.g., retail products, electronics, furniture)
Sells or leases taxable software
Provides certain taxable services (e.g., legal, telecommunications, vehicle repair)
Sells goods to BC residents from out of province
Operates a short-term accommodation business (e.g., vacation rentals, hotels, Airbnbs)

Even if your business does not have a physical storefront in BC, you may still be required to register for PST if you sell taxable goods or services to BC customers.
