How business tax works in British Columbia
British Columbia pairs the 5% federal GST with a separate 7% provincial sales tax (PST) — unlike HST provinces, the PST is filed separately to the province, and it applies differently (many services are exempt). Getting the PST treatment right is one of the most common things BC owners get wrong.
On the corporate side, BC has one of the country’s more competitive small-business rates. Active business income eligible for the small-business deduction is taxed at a combined 11% (9% federal + 2% BC), up to the $500,000 limit.
| Sales tax | 5% GST + 7% PST (PST filed separately) |
| Small-business corporate rate | 11% combined (9% federal + 2% BC) |
| General corporate rate | 27% combined |
| Small-business limit | $500,000 |
