HST will now be charged on BCASLPA membership fees and conference registration. They both used to be exempt from PST.
Getting started in private practice?
The recently updated booklet Private Practice: A guide for speech-language pathologists is now available. It was written by members of the Lower Mainland SLP Private Practice Interest Group to provide useful advice on marketing, professional and business practices, client fee coverage, how to determine your fee, and available support. You'll find it under practice management, which includes other useful documents, such as a Privacy Manual for Practitioners.
