Ministry of Finance
The Ministry of Finance (the “Ministry”) is responsible for developing and implementing the core financial functions of the Government of British Columbia (the “Province”). Key functions of the Ministry include economic, fiscal, and financial policy, revenue and tax administration, budgeting and forecasting, accounting, investment planning, debt management, banking services, security and risk management, and internal audit and compliance monitoring. The Ministry is also responsible for the Province’s revenue, tax and benefit administration and is committed to ensuring gender equity is reflected in government budgets, policies, and programs.
Revenue Division
The Revenue Division is comprised of many diverse branches and teams and provides administration and compliance activities for tax statutes administered by the Ministry, including audit assessments, tax refunds, and tax credit and benefit programs. This business area also collects royalties, taxes and fees levied on mineral, oil and gas production and works with other levels of government collecting taxes on behalf of the province.

The branch carries out audit and compliance activities, including refund verifications and inspections, for the province’s consumption tax system which generates approximately six billion dollars in annual revenue to support programs for education, health care, social service and other public service needs of British Columbians. We also perform audit compliance and education activities on consumption taxes for a variety of other organizations including Tourism B.C., the Cowichan (Aboriginal) Band, various municipalities, and for 48 individual states and nine provinces under the International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA) and the International Registration Plan (IRP).
