Corporate tax and accounting in Vancouver
Vancouver's economy spans technology, real estate, film production, international trade and a large professional-services sector. British Columbia also runs its own provincial sales tax, which is where most Vancouver businesses first go wrong.
BC Provincial Sales Tax (PST) is separate from the federal GST and is not recoverable the way GST input tax credits are, so it is a real cost that must be tracked and often self-assessed on goods brought into the province. British Columbia also levies an Employer Health Tax once BC remuneration passes the annual threshold, and bonus timing alone can push an employer over it.
British Columbia administers corporate income tax through the federal T2, so there is no separate provincial return, but the PST and EHT obligations are genuinely provincial. We register and file PST correctly, model the EHT threshold against your payroll, and reconcile both with your corporate return.
