🚨 Stop the new 7% PST on essential business services in BC 🚨

BC is proposing to add 7% PST to services many businesses and strata corporations can’t avoid—including security services, accounting/bookkeeping, and strata/property management (effective Oct 1, 2026, if approved).

This isn’t just a “business issue.” When strata corporations pay more for management, accounting, and security, those costs get passed on—meaning higher strata fees and higher monthly living costs for people in condos, apartments, and multiplexes.
