PST on PARKING TO increase
from 7% to 21%
effective January 1, 2010

On December 2nd, 2009, a Tax Notice was issued by the Ministry of Finance to all 'Parking Sellers' in the South Coast British Columbia Transportation Service Region.

The notice included the following instructions:  

"Effective January 1, 2010, the provincial sales tax (PST) rate on the purchase price of parking rights will increase from 7% to 21%.  This applies to the South Coast British Columbia transportation region.  If you sell taxable parking in this region, you must charge PST on the purchase price of the parking at the rate of 21% beginning January 1, 2010.

The PST rate for taxable parking in the South Coast British Columbia transportation service region is set by the South Coast British Columbia Transportation Authority (TransLink).

The notice instructs UBC, who is required to collect PST on behalf of TransLink, to increase the amount of PST collected on parking. 

The increase also triggers GST being payable on both the parking charge and the PST collected; the total tax (GST and PST) payable on parking will therefore increase to 27.05% after January 1, 2010.
