Pilot province
British Columbia: quoting software built for Canadian contractors.
British Columbia is one of the three provinces in the quoteai pilot. Quotes, contracts and invoices you send from BC carry the province's two-part sales tax as two separate lines — the 5 % federal GST and the 7 % provincial PST — because that is how your customer's accountant expects to see it, and how the CRA and the BC Ministry of Finance ask you to show it.

British Columbia: what quoteai does about the paperwork
The rates and defaults below are not marketing copy — they come from the same table the quote, contract and invoice PDFs use, so what you read here is what prints.
GST 5 % + PST 7 %
English by default. Every document can also be produced in French, per customer.
Licence number (e.g. your BC Housing licensed-residential-builder number, if you hold one)
What that means day to day
- Every money document splits the tax into GST and PST lines that add up to the stored total to the cent — no single blended "12 % tax" line.
- Your GST/HST and PST registration numbers are saved once in your business profile and printed on every quote, contract and invoice.
- Deposits and progress payments are set up as a payment schedule on the quote, so the contract and the invoices that follow come from the same numbers.
- Customers pay by Interac e-Transfer, cheque or card — card payments land in your own Stripe account, not ours.

British Columbia: cities with their own quote pages
Each city and trade combination has its own page, with the vocabulary and the tax rules that apply there.
