Social service tax (PST) in British Columbia

Posted: 6/28/2007

"On May 25, 2007, the Supreme Court of Canada upheld the validity of the social service tax (PST) in British Columbia on legal fees. As such, we are required to remit PST we have held in trust pending this decision, and will continue to charge and collect PST on our bills as required by the law. For further details, please visit the Consumer Taxation Branch's website at http://www.rev.gov.bc.ca/ctb/Legal_Services_Provided_to_British_Columbians.htm"
