Which taxes does the British Columbia calculator include?

British Columbia charges the 5% federal GST plus 7% PST, for 12% in total. The calculator applies the combined 12% to the amount you enter.

How do I calculate sales tax in British Columbia?

Multiply the price by 12% and round to the nearest cent. A $100.00 sale carries $12.00 in GST + PST, for a total of $112.00.

How do I back GST + PST out of a price that includes it?

Divide the total by 1 plus the rate. A $112.00 total in British Columbia is $112.00 ÷ 1.12 = $100.00 before tax, so the tax is $12.00.

Do I charge British Columbia’s rate on sales from another province?

GST and HST follow the place of supply, which is generally the province where the buyer receives the goods or services, so a sale delivered to British Columbia is taxed at British Columbia’s rate. British Columbia, Saskatchewan and Manitoba register out-of-province sellers for their provincial sales tax under their own rules, and Quebec administers the QST.
