Overview
All B.C. businesses sourcing goods from suppliers who don’t charge PST are required to self-assess, but not all companies are doing it correctly – or at all.
Join us as we welcome Norma Orellana, a senior tax expert at MNP, to demystify the world of PST self-assessment and ensure your business stays tax compliant.
Expect to learn how B.C. PST self-assessment rules apply specifically to the construction industry, including PST collection, current audit activity, potential risk areas, common audit issues, and temporary imports. The talk may also touch on intercompany transactions, claiming ITCs, and documentary requirements.
Norma will outline how PST self-assessment applies to various supplies, under various circumstances, and to non-resident companies entering B.C. to carry out work.
Of course, in true #CoffeeTalk fashion, Norma will also be on hand to answer all your burning tax compliance questions.
You won’t sleep soundly until you’ve attended this one!
