PST Outreach

The Ministry of Finance provides outreach services to assist British Columbians in preparing for the new provincial sales tax (PST), which comes into effect on April 1, 2013. Various services are offered as a part of the outreach program.

PST Education Program (PSTEP)

If you operate a business in B.C., you can sign up for a ministry PST Specialist to review your accounting and reporting systems to ensure your systems are properly set up to comply with the provincial sales tax laws.  The program is called PSTEP and it replaces the one-on-one consultations with a PST Specialist.
