Virtual Bookkeeper British Columbia.
British Columbia runs a dual tax system — federal GST (5%) filed with CRA and provincial PST (7%) filed with the BC Ministry of Finance. We handle both, flat-rate $500/month — CPA-ready reports by the 10th, every month.
BC's Sales Tax System
BC's GST + PST system. We handle both.
Unlike Ontario's harmonized HST, British Columbia operates a dual sales tax structure. Federal GST at 5% is collected on behalf of the CRA, while provincial PST at 7% is collected and remitted separately to the BC Ministry of Finance. Each tax has its own registration, its own return cycle, and its own compliance rules.
BC voted against HST in a 2011 referendum and returned to the separate GST + PST system — which means BC businesses carry two distinct tax filing obligations that many other provinces don't. Missing a PST return or miscategorizing taxable vs. exempt sales can trigger penalties from the BC Ministry of Finance.
Our virtual bookkeeping service is built for BC's dual system. We track your taxable revenues for both GST and PST separately, maximize input tax credits on the GST side (where applicable), ensure PST is charged at the correct rate on applicable sales, and file both returns on time — all included in your flat-rate plan.

Book a Free ConsultationFederal GST Filing (CRA)
We prepare your GST return, calculate your net tax owing after input tax credits, and file directly with CRA on your behalf — quarterly or annually depending on your filing frequency.
Provincial PST Filing (BC MoF)
PST returns are filed separately with the BC Ministry of Finance. We track PST collected on taxable sales, apply the correct 7% rate to applicable goods and services, and remit on time every period.
Input Tax Credits Maximized
On the GST side, we identify every eligible input tax credit to reduce your net remittance. BC PST does not have an ITC mechanism, so accurate tracking of taxable purchases is critical — we handle that too.
