Important BC HST Information
Beginning July 1, 2010, British Columbia will no longer have the BC provincial sales tax (“PST”), and will instead be adopting the British Columbia harmonized sales tax (“BC HST”), which will parallel the GST at the provincial level. The BC HST rate will be 12%; 5% of the BC HST is the existing GST component and 7% will be the British Columbia provincial portion. To date, the federal and British Columbia governments have issued some publications dealing with the application of the new BC HST, but many details remain under discussion. In order help Canadian Security Association members obtain a better understanding of the BC HST, we have put together some explanations that address the following issues of concern:
- GST/BC HST as it applies to revenue for services which are performed partly before and partly after July 1, 2010
- GST/BC HST as it applies to sales of goods which are ordered before July 1, 2010 but delivered after July 1, 2010
- >GST/BC HST as it applies to the supply and installation of fixtures
- GST/BC HST as it applies to ‘bundled’ sales consisting of products, together with services, sold as a package for a single price
- Transitional rules relating to leased equipment
- Self-assessment requirements under the BC HST rules
- Restricted input tax credits for “large businesses”
- Transitional rules with respect to BC PST
