Planning an environmental project? Act before the new PST takes effect!
Announced at the 2026 Budget, the Government of British Columbia revealed an expansion of the provincial sales tax (PST) to certain professional services.
Effective October 1, 2026, the Government of BC will expand the 7% Provincial Sales Tax (PST) to include certain professional services, including engineering and geoscience services. The tax will be applied to 30% of the purchase price at the standard 7% rate, resulting in an effective tax of 2.1% on applicable services.
If you have an environmental project on the horizon, now may be the ideal time to get started before these PST changes take effect.
