Hi Judy, Did the Library - say that PST was payable for out of Provence purchases? Contact the Library - or the following. http://www.rev.gov.bc.ca/ctb/TaxRates.htm <snip> British Columbia (BC) Provincial Sales Tax (PST), also called Social Services Tax, is charged on most products (both new and used) and many services, at a rate of 7%, decreased from 7.5% effective October 21, 2004. The rate was previously increased from 7% to 7.5% effective February 20, 2002. PST is charged on the selling price before GST is applied, and GST is not charged on the PST amount.<snip> <snip> If you buy something and have it shipped by the seller to an out-of-province location, then you may not have to pay the PST. For more information, see the BC Consumer Taxation web page <http://www.rev.gov.bc.ca/ctb/VisitingBC.htm>Visiting BC. <snip> Cheers, Stella At 10:13 AM 4/18/2005, elista wrote: >Sorry I have to ask this question, but I am ordering an old photo from the >VPL and realized I have to pay PST, and since I am from Alberta, I do not >know what percentage that is.
