Licensing and permits in British Columbia
Art instruction is unlicensed in both the US and Canada; for kids' classes, homeowners should confirm the instructor carries liability insurance and has passed a background check (many studios and independent tutors advertise this) rather than any trade license.
Residential building permits in BC are issued by the local municipality or regional district (not the province), based on the BC Building Code; check with the city/district building department before starting work. In Richmond, permits come from the City of Richmond Building Approvals Division.
Tax: PST does not apply to labor for services performed on real property (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC installation/repair in a home) or to labor installing goods that become part of the real property, but materials/parts are PST-taxable and repairs to tangible personal property (appliances, furniture) are PST-taxable; GST applies to essentially all of it. Note BC's 2026 budget is expanding PST to certain professional services (accounting, engineering, security) effective Oct 1, 2026 — this does not currently extend to home trades labor.
