PST added to sugary drinks, streaming services
Two planned tax changes that were delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic will go into effect on April 1, 2021.
Starting next month, Provincial Sales Tax will be charged on carbonated beverages that contain sugar, natural sweeteners or artificial sweeteners. The products are currently exempt from PST.
As of April 1, PST must also be collected by e-commerce businesses outside the province, such as US-based services Netflix and Disney Plus.
