Purchase Orders
Purchase Orders (PO) are issued by BCIT Strategic Procurement formalizing all the terms and conditions of the purchase and supply of the Deliverables identified on the face of the purchase order.
The BCIT Purchase Order indicates the tax payable/exemption status of each line item. Please retain the BCIT Purchase Order for your records.
BC PST Exemptions
Exemption certificates are not provided for exemptions that are governed under the Provincial Sales Tax Act, the Provincial Sales Tax Regulation, the Provincial Sales Tax Exemption and Refund Regulation, and related bulletins. Specifically, the Provincial Sales Tax Exemption and Refund Regulation details exemptions in relation to tangible personal property and exemptions in relation to services.
Common exempt purchases include School Supplies—reference bulletin PST 202 for details on qualifying schools and list of specified school supplies.
