About Newfoundland and Labrador Sales Tax
Newfoundland and Labrador has a 15% combined sales tax rate, consisting of the 5% federal GST and 10% provincial HST.
Newfoundland and Labrador uses the Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) system. The HST combines the 5% federal GST and the provincial portion into a single streamlined rate administered entirely by the Canada Revenue Agency. Businesses file one return, claim one set of input tax credits (ITCs), and remit to one authority — significantly simplifying compliance compared to dual-tax provinces.

Where A2B Sits — and What That Changes at the Till
A2B covers ground within about 2 km of the centre of Grand Falls-Windsor — one of 2 forward sortation areas the city is split across, each carrying the same 15% but covering very different retail. Its closest postal neighbours are A2A (Grand Falls-Windsor) about 1 km off and A0H (Bishop's Falls / Botwood area) about 10 km off.
A2B is dense urban ground — a single neighbourhood inside one postal area, about 14,000 (town) — and density changes the taxable mix rather than the rate. Prepared food, personal services and in-person retail dominate what is rung through Grand Falls-Windsor codes like this one, all of it at 15%, while the zero-rated grocery basics that anchor a suburban shop are a smaller share of the total than the province-wide averages suggest.
Everything above is particular to A2B; the rules that are not — registration thresholds, filing frequency, input tax credit recovery, point-of-sale rebates — are set for the whole of Newfoundland and Labrador, and they live on the Newfoundland and Labrador sales tax guide rather than being restated on A2B's page, where the calculator above is already locked to 15%.

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers to the most common questions users ask.
What areas does postal code A2B cover?
The Forward Sortation Area A2B covers Grand Falls-Windsor in the Central Newfoundland region of Newfoundland and Labrador, serving about 14,000 (town) in a predominantly urban setting. Retail and civic landmarks inside the code include Exploits River and Salmonid Interpretation Centre — the places where purchases in A2B actually happen.
What is the sales tax rate for FSA A2B in Newfoundland and Labrador?
The combined sales tax rate for postal code FSA A2B in the Grand Falls-Windsor area of Newfoundland and Labrador is 15%. This is a Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) that combines the 5% federal GST with a 10% provincial component into a single rate administered by the Canada Revenue Agency.
How do I calculate tax for a purchase in Newfoundland and Labrador (FSA A2B)?
To calculate the total price including sales tax for any purchase in Newfoundland and Labrador, multiply the purchase price by 1.15. For example, a $100.00 purchase costs $115.00 total, with $15.00 in sales tax.
For the reverse calculation, divide the total price by 1.15 to find the pre-tax amount. Run the example above backwards and $115.00 paid in Newfoundland and Labrador resolves to $100.00 before tax and $15.00 of HST.
Does Newfoundland and Labrador use HST or separate GST and PST?
Newfoundland and Labrador uses a Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) system. The HST combines the 5% federal GST with the 10% provincial component into a single rate of 15%. Businesses file one return with the CRA.
What kind of area is A2B — urban, suburban or rural?
A2B is a predominantly urban code serving about 14,000 (town), within the Central Newfoundland region. Retail density is high, which means a large share of taxable transactions here are in-person, prepared food, and services rather than shipped goods.
Do local taxes in A2B change what I pay?
Not the sales tax itself — Newfoundland and Labrador levies 15% province-wide and there is no municipal sales tax in Canada. What can differ by municipality are the separate levies that sit outside sales tax: accommodation and lodging taxes on short-term stays, and in some provinces local levies on prepared food or alcohol.
So a hotel folio or restaurant bill from Grand Falls-Windsor can total more than 15% while a retail receipt from the same street does not. Check the municipality's own schedule for those, and see the Newfoundland and Labrador sales tax guide for the province-wide rules.
How does FSA A2B map to a sales tax rate?
The Forward Sortation Area (FSA) is the first three characters of a Canadian postal code. A2B falls within the range assigned to Newfoundland and Labrador, specifically the Grand Falls-Windsor area. Canada sets sales tax provincially rather than municipally, so the FSA's job here is to place the buyer: once you know a delivery address sits in A2B, you know it is a Newfoundland and Labrador sale and you charge 15%. That matters most for shipped orders, where the buyer's postal code — not your own — decides the rate.
