    Vancouver Tax Landscape

    Here's what you should know about taxes in Vancouver, British Columbia.

    BC PST + Federal GST

    Vancouver businesses collect 7% BC PST and 5% federal GST separately — BC left HST in 2013, requiring dual sales tax compliance.

    BC Corporate Tax Rate

    BC's general corporate tax rate is 12%, with a reduced 2% rate for small businesses on the first $500,000 of active income.

    BC Employer Health Tax

    Employers with payroll over $500,000 must pay BC's Employer Health Tax (EHT) at rates up to 1.95% — replacing former MSP premiums.

    Property Transfer Tax

    Vancouver real estate transactions are subject to BC's Property Transfer Tax plus an additional 20% foreign buyer's tax in Metro Vancouver.

    BC Personal Tax Rates

    BC has a progressive tax system with rates from 5.06% to 20.5%, plus various tax credits for residents.

    Film & Digital Media Credits

    Vancouver's film and tech industries benefit from generous BC tax credits for digital media and film production.
