I am non-resident with self employment income from BC. If I file my return in BC do I still have to pay the 48% federal surtax because I am a non-resident?

Yes, unless your income is earned from a business with a permanent establishment in Canada, you pay the provincial or territorial tax instead of the surtax.
(You’re also subject to a 25% withholding tax on certain types of income such as dividends, rental payments, pension, and OAS payments, and RRSP payments in Canada.)
