FAQ
Common questions
Generally, registration is required once your total taxable revenue exceeds the small supplier threshold over four consecutive calendar quarters. You can also register voluntarily below that threshold. We can review your specific situation.
No. GST is a federal tax; BC PST is a separate provincial tax with its own registration, rates, and rules. British Columbia does not use a harmonized HST, so many businesses need to track both separately.
We regularly help businesses catch up on overdue GST/HST or PST filings and can discuss your options for addressing any resulting balances with the CRA or BC's tax administration.
