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.
