What taxes and levies are on my bill?

Taxes and levies

If you’re a residential customer, Goods and Services Tax (GST) is applied to your bill. If you’re a business customer, Provincial Sales Tax (PST) and Goods and Services Tax (GST) are applied to your bill. 

Residential customers with a home-based business are taxable for PST and GST. Some farmers, First Nations and commerical/industrial customers may be exempt from paying PST and/or GST.

Regional transit levy
The regional transit levy applies to all residential accounts in the Metro Vancouver regional transportation area. If you have any questions about the levy, visit translink.ca/bylaws or contact TransLink at 604 953 3040.

For more information, please contact BC Hydro Customer Service at 1 800 BCHYDRO (1 800 224 9376). Some of our busiest call times are Monday through Friday between 9 a.m. and noon, and 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. You may have a shorter wait time if you give us a call outside of these times.
