  • New HST/PST Calculator using the Transition Rules for Switch Back to BC PST

    A new HST/PST tax calculator has been added to the British Columbia Real Estate Association’s online HST/PST resources.

    These tools calculate taxes using transition rules applicable to the switch back to BC PST on April 1, 2013 only. That is, they do not factor in pre-harmonization grand-parenting or prior tax rate change transitions.

    Three calculation options are available:

    • HST/PST Calculator:  Starts with a purchase price that includes HST/GST net of available rebates
    • HST/PST Calculator:  Starts with purchase price that includes full amount of HST/GST
    • HST/PST Calculator:  Starts with a purchase price that does not include taxes.

    NOTE: These calculators should not be considered substitutes for professional accounting or legal advice.

    All three tax calculators are available at:
