Yay! Good news ! No PST will be added to accounting services!
UPDATE : Premier David Eby has announced his government is suspending its expansion of the provincial sales tax to professional services that was scheduled to take place Oct. 1.
Heads up to all my clients!
British Columbia is adding a 7% Provincial Sales Tax (PST) to accounting services starting October 1, 2026.
Beginning October 1, 2026, the Province of British Columbia is expanding Provincial Sales Tax (PST) to certain professional services, including accounting services.
As a result, Taxes By Lisa will be required to charge and collect 7% PST on taxable accounting services where the new rules apply.
Which accounting services will be subject to PST?
The new rules broadly apply to accounting services, including:
Personal Income Tax Preparation
Bookkeeping and the preparation of accounting records
