What is the PST Rebate?

Following the events of recent years, the BC government has announced a temporary rebate on the Provincial Sales Tax (PST) for Select Machinery and Equipment purchases. The rebate is separate from the existing PST refund process.

Under this program, corporations can apply to receive a rebate equal to the PST they paid between September 17, 2020, and March 31, 2022.

As a Kamloops bookkeeper, we can help you make an application for your tax rebate. Click Here to get started.

Corporate partners in partnerships can apply for the amount of Provincial Sales Tax they paid on their proportional ownership in the partnership. However, non-corporate partners of partnerships cannot apply.
