Where do I file income tax and deal with PST in British Columbia?

Use CRA for B.C. personal and corporation income tax. Provincial sales tax has its own B.C. registration and eTaxBC account route; it is separate from federal GST.

Where to begin

  1. Open CRA’s B.C. personal package for the year you are filing and review the BC428 and credit instructions.
  2. If filing for a corporation, use CRA’s B.C. corporation-tax page and the relevant schedules.
  3. For PST, read B.C.’s current registration page, including its recent notices and activity-specific requirements.
  4. If registration is required, prepare the listed business documents and use the linked provincial application. eTaxBC manages PST returns and payments.
  5. Check GST separately with CRA and confirm the place of supply when you sell outside B.C.

Before you open the official service

  • Filing year and business structure
  • Goods, software or services supplied and customer locations
  • PST registration checklist, if applicable

Keep your actual documents and account details off this website. Use the official service’s current checklist before applying.

What to check for your situation

A GST account is not a PST registration. Current B.C. notices can change treatment of particular services; this guide does not classify a sale or determine a registration obligation.

Fees, processing times and document rules can change. This page helps you navigate; it does not confirm eligibility or replace the government’s instructions.
