Can anyone answer this one? In BC why is there no PST paid on regular phone
service, including the line itself and any additional features you might have
(e.g. call waiting, call display, etc.). The only thing you pay PST on is the
long distance charges. However, on cellular accounts (at least my Clearnet
account), PST is applied to all charges on the account. Is this because a
regular land line is deemed an essential service?

PST isnt charge on items that are rated 'necessaties' by the Goverment of BC.
same thing as GST.

However some business phoneline services don't have PST on them. Depends which
billing class though.
