Bookkeeping and accounting for British Columbia businesses
Reconciled books, sales tax and payroll that follow British Columbia rules, from a bilingual Montréal-based team.
In British Columbia, GST and provincial sales tax (PST) are separate taxes with separate registrations, which is a common source of missed filings. We set up both, keep your records clean for each, and run payroll that fits WorkSafeBC and the BC Employer Health Tax.
Sales tax
GST (5%) is federal and filed with the CRA. BC PST is a separate provincial tax, registered and filed with the province, and it applies to different goods and services. We track both and calendar each filing.
Payroll
Employers handle CRA source deductions, WorkSafeBC coverage and, above the threshold, the BC Employer Health Tax. We cover pay runs, remittances and year-end slips.
Corporate tax
BC corporate tax is calculated on your T2 and filed with the CRA.
