British Columbia, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba Issues Information on Cannabis

British Columbia, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba have issued information to explain how PST applies to businesses selling medical and non-medical cannabis products in their respective provinces:

• BC PST 141, “Cannabis”; and
• SK PST-74, “Information for Vendors of Cannabis”;
• Manitoba “Cannabis taxation and revenue.”

In addition, BC PST 001, “Registering to Collect PST” has been updated to include the British Columbia registration requirements for cannabis sellers.  Saskatchewan’s registration requirements for vendors of cannabis are included in SK PST-74.

Manitoba has specified that the Liquor, Gaming and Cannabis Authority of Manitoba (LGCA) will regulate the cannabis industry with Manitoba Liquor and Lotteries (MBLL) supplying non-medical cannabis and collecting the Social Responsibility Fee (SRF) that applies to its sales.
