Do we need to be registered for PROVINCIAL TAXES in Canada?
British Columbia (BC), Manitoba and Saskatchewan
Persons selling into any of British Columbia, Manitoba or Saskatchewan must register for PST in each of these provinces if selling to consumers. The PST registration process is in addition to, and completely seperate from registering for GST/HST.
Quebec
The province of Quebec has implemented it’s own Sales Tax, called QST (Quebec Sales Tax). THe rules and regulations governing QST follow the GST rules with a few notable specific differences. Historically suppliers without a physical presence in Quebec were not obliged to register for QST purposes. Registration requirements for suppliers without a physical presence in Quebec and operators of certain digital platforms that supply digital goods/services to consumers in Quebec, changed from January 2019. From January 1, 2019 non-resident suppliers without a physical presence in Quebec and non-resident operators of certain digital platforms that supply digital goods/services to consumers in Quebec were obligated to register for QST Since September 1, 2019, suppliers are obliged to register for QST.
