Divide a British Columbia total by 1.12 to get the pre-tax price, then take 5% of that for the GST and 7% for the PST. On a $112 receipt, that's $100, $5 and $7. Only the GST comes back as an input tax credit: BC's PST can't be recovered that way.
To go the other way, the BC GST and PST Calculator adds both taxes.
Our bookkeeping service can split every receipt between GST and PST for you.
