As from 1 April 2021 (subject to some minimum thresholds):
- All Canadian businesses that sell B2B or B2C taxable goods to anyone in British Columbia will have to register and collect BC provincial sales tax (PST)
- All non-Canadian resident businesses who sell software or telecommunications to anyone in BC (business or consumer) will have to register for PST.
Based on the broad definitions of “software” and “telecommunication service” under the PST Act, the province is of the view that it covers also digital products and services.
