In British Columbia, the 5% GST and the 7% PST are each calculated on the pre-tax price, for a combined 12%. The PST is run by the provincial government, not the CRA, so a BC business registers for it separately. Some items carry a different PST rate: liquor, for example, is taxed at 10%.

The PST return goes to the province, but the GST return goes to the CRA, and our GST/HST filing service can handle that one.
