Introducing Light Mode! If you would like a Bar Towel social experience that isn't the traditional blue, you can now select Light Mode. Go to the User Control Panel and then Board Preferences, and select "Day Drinking" (Light Mode) from the My Board Style drop-down menu. You can always switch back to "Night Drinking" (Dark Mode). Enjoy!

As I understand it, both GST and PST (whether 8% or 12%) is supposed to be charged to the end customer only once. This is why business's get PST exemption certificates, and track all GST expenses which can then be claimed against what they collect in GST.

There is no duplicate taxatiion. Consumers pay 5% GST and 12% PST on the cost of the beer before taxes. Licensees receive a 5% discount off the cost of the beer before taxes and then pay 5% GST which is of course recoverable by them.
