Navigating the New PST Rules for Professional Services

Understand what the upcoming PST expansion means for your business at this special online session hosted by the Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce and the BC Ministry of Finance. 

Despite the Chamber's position on the PST, it is important that affected businesses know how to register, collect and remit the taxes, and this session will provide an overview on the expansion of Provincial Sales Tax (PST) to certain professional services which takes effect October 1, 2026.

This session is relevant to professionals who provide the following:

• Accounting services, including bookkeeping and assurance services
• Architectural services
• Engineering and geoscience services
• Security services, including private investigation services
• Non-residential real estate services, including trading services, rental property management services and strata management services

During this session we will discuss:

• PST Expansion Overview – A clear explanation of the new rules and which services are impacted
• Registration Requirements – When and how businesses will need to register for PST
• Exemptions & Exceptions – What services may be exempt and how to determine applicability
• When PST is Payable – Guidance on invoicing, billing, and timing of PST obligations
