Template:Paying Taxes in British Columbia TOC British Columbia has a harmonized sales tax, also referred to as HST. This is a sales tax of 12%.
The HST consists of a federal sales tax (5%) and a provincial sales tax (7%). It is called a harmonized tax because it combines the two taxes. You pay the HST on most things you buy or use. They include clothing, furniture, restaurant meals, phones, taxis, etc. There are a few exceptions. For example, there is no HST on groceries, rent, and public transit.
This information applies to British Columbia, Canada. Last reviewed for legal accuracy by People's Law School, 2014. |
