This decision, originally scheduled for early Q4 2026, would have meant new tax charges for services like accounting, architecture, engineering, geoscience, security, and private investigations. Even real estate services\u2014such as trading, rental property management, and strata management\u2014were on the list before the pause was announced. The province\u2019s move comes as businesses and families are already navigating trade disruptions and economic uncertainty. For 2026-2027, this pause is expected to save people, businesses, and local governments about $260 million, helping to keep essential services more accessible at a time when every dollar counts. As someone who helps Surrey families and businesses plan for financial security, I see how changes like these can make a real difference in your bottom line\u2014and your peace of mind. If you\u2019re wondering how this might impact your own financial plans, I\u2019m always here to help clarify the details and keep your goals on track.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>B.C. has put the brakes on its planned expansion of the provincial sales tax (PST) to a wider range of services.
