Under the new vapour product tax introduced by BC Bill 45 in November 2019, license holders must charge 20% PST on vapour products sold to clients in British Columbia. The Bill defines a "vapour product" as any e-vaping device, e-substance, or cartridge, part, or accessory for an e-vaping device. If a licence holder sells any products that fit the description of a "vapour product", they should follow the steps below to tag these products so that the appropriate PST is applied at checkout when these products are sold to BC.
