How GST and PST work in BC
British Columbia charges two separate sales taxes:
- GST (federal) at 5%
- PST (provincial) at a general rate of 7%
Each is calculated on the price before tax and rounded to the cent on its own, so the total is the price × 1.12.
Example: on 100.00, GST is 5.00, PST is 7.00 and the total is 112.00. Taking them off: a total of 56.00 is 50.00 before tax.
The calculator uses the general 7% PST rate. For other provinces, use the GST calculator.
