Why BC bookkeeping needs extra care

Unlike Ontario's single HST, British Columbia businesses usually deal with two separate sales taxes: 5% federal GST, reported to the Canada Revenue Agency, and 7% provincial sales tax (PST), reported to the BC government. They have different rules about what's taxable, different returns and different deadlines. Mixing them up is one of the most common bookkeeping errors we see.

  • GST returns prepared and filed with the CRA, with input tax credits claimed.
  • PST returns prepared for filing with the province, including PST you owe on your own taxable purchases.
  • Payroll: pay runs, CPP, EI and tax deductions, remittances, T4 slips and records of employment.
  • WorkSafeBC prep for employers who report payroll for workplace coverage.
  • Monthly reports by the 15th, plus catch-up work if your books are behind.

How it works for BC businesses

You give us accountant access to QuickBooks Online or Xero and link your bank feeds. Our AI categorizes transactions weekly and splits GST and PST correctly; a finance professional reviews every month before reports go out. Everything happens online, so it's the same whether you're downtown Vancouver or in the Okanagan.
