B.C. will introduce a harmonized sales tax of 12 per cent, replacing the PST and GST. The harmonization will take effect July 2010.

Premier Gordon Campbell said that the move will give the province the lowest harmonized sales tax in Canada.

All other provinces with an HST, including a recent proposal by Ontario, have a rate of 13 per cent, he said.

"This is the single biggest thing we can do to improve B.C.'s economy," said Campbell. He goes on to say that it will create jobs, boost investments, and improve productivity and competitiveness.

"The PST is an outdated, inefficient and costly tax, some of which is hidden in the price of goods and services and passed on to and paid by customers," Minister of Finance Colin Hansen said in the same release.

A statement released by the provincial government said HST would eliminate over $2 billion in costs for B.C. businesses and the federal government will give the province $1.6 billion to help it transition to the HST.

Currently, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick have harmonized sales taxes. Ontario is scheduled to introduce a harmonized sales tax on the same day as B.C.

Similar to the PST, consumers will see point-of-sales HST rebates on gasoline and diesel fuel for motor vehicles, books children's-sized clothing and footwear, children's car seats and car booster seats, and diapers and feminine hygiene products.
