Tax services continue during postal disruption 

The province says everyone is still responsible for paying provincial taxes, which is why they’re urging everyone to use a non-mail payment to avoid late fees and penalties during a postal disruption. 

Canada Post union workers have been able to strike for the past 10 days but so far have only implemented a ban on overtime, and the province says if a disruption starts people are still able to access all government services through ETaxBC.  

“ETaxBC is an online service that allows people to file tax returns, make payments, and more,” they say. “Anyone who is expecting a printed return or invoice close to the due date should contact the Ministry of Finance to make other arrangements.”

Payments are to be received by July 2 to avoid penalties and interest.
