PST给我们带来了什么改变?：吃饭便宜，喝酒变贵，买豪华车也贵了。

BC恢复双税制，有些人可能不习惯，但是更多的人关注的上餐馆现在只收5%的GST.感觉省钱了。不过喜欢喝酒的朋友就郁闷了因为酒的税率是15%；另外像是装修、换屋顶等住家工程服务也少了7%的PST，有包商在回复旧税制的首月，订单就大幅成长。

恢复双税制後，居家装修、花草修剪、兽医、乾洗、会计服务、房屋仲介佣金、自行车、健身房与高尔夫球场会员、理发指甲美容、婚礼计画、葬仪服务、书籍报纸杂志、药品、维他命或保健药品、基本有线电视与住家电话、电影票，甚至薯片等，都免支付7%的PST。

以换屋顶为例，入春天气转晴後普遍是换屋顶的繁忙季节，今年4月屋顶公司就见到大量的订单。卑诗的Penfolds公司指出，今年4月大约要进行200个屋顶工程，是去年同期的一倍，因为每户人家大约可省下200至800元。

不过，像是酒品的税制则从12%HST变成5%GST加上10%PST，意味上餐馆省下食物的税项，但喝酒变得较贵。购买全新豪华汽车方面，除了5%的GST，低於5万5000元的车款支付7%的PST，介於5万5000至5万5999元的PST增为8%，5万7000元以上则增为10%。

卑诗的停车费也受惠双税制，省下7%，大温地区停车费的税率从原本的35.52%下降至27.05%，然而路边停车费或短期停车费并不变；不过像是Impark公司则调整温哥华国际机场的停车费，原本半小时4.25元变成4元，该公司经营的温市中心停车场也会调降。

搭乘计程车也可少去7%，然而计程车费率在3月31日调涨了1.9%，因此最後消费者约可省下5%。

卑诗省自2010年7月实施的统一销售税（HST），经省民公投推翻，终於走入历史，4月1日起恢复联邦货服税（GST）与省销售税（PST）双税制。不少餐厅业主喜於预期民众外食频率将增，也有发廊业者以及其他的服务业者都是一件好事。

虽然大温多数商家1日作业顺利，不过也有部分商家未及更新收银机，造成混乱，最後采用手写方式应急。

而有人报告说，有一些店家乘着，大家对价格还有一些迷糊的时间，趁机涨价，就比如说很多包税的店家，不进行降价，其实是变相的多收了7%的费用。希望大家可以进行抵制。
