Make a payment

Please choose the program you're making a payment for from the lists below.

Many payments can also be made at a government office or by mail

Payments made at a government office

You can pay in person at:

  • A Service BC Centre
    Payments must be made in Canadian funds by cash, debit, cheque, bank draft or money order made payable to the Minister of Finance. See the Service BC website for locations and hours of operation. 

  • 1802 Douglas Street in Victoria (drop box only)
    Payments must be made in Canadian funds by cheque, bank draft or money order made payable to the Minister of Finance. Cash, debit and credit card payments are not accepted. 

Remember to write your account number or folio on your payment so your account can be easily identified when your payment is processed.

Note: Employer health tax, Oil and Gas Commission Levy and insurance premium tax cannot be paid at a government office.

Payments by mail

You can pay in Canadian funds by cheque, bank draft or money order made payable to the Minister of Finance. Do not send cash. Write your account number from your invoice on your payment and send it to the address and PO Box indicated on your invoice, Statement of Account, or Notice of Assessment. 

Send your payment at least eight days before the due date if you’re sending it through Canada Post.

You can mail post-dated cheques. However, you will receive an invoice if the cheque is processed after the invoice date. You will also receive an invoice if the cheque amount is less than the minimum amount due.

Post-dated cheques on file will be applied to your account on the date of the cheque or the first business day following this date. If a post-dated cheque has not been applied to your account within five days of the date on the cheque, please contact us.

To cancel a post-dated cheque, contact us at least 5 days before the date on the cheque.

Note: Employer health tax and insurance premium tax cannot be paid by mail.
