Provincial sales tax (PST) application for partnerships consultation

The B.C. Ministry of Finance recognizes that the application of the provincial sales tax (PST) for partnership transactions is complex.

Interested parties should review this consultation paper, which has been designed to guide the consultation and feedback process. Whether the proposals described in the consultation paper are pursued will depend in part on the level of support received from interested parties.
