A parcel addressed into B6L carries Nova Scotia's 14% even when the seller is registered in Alberta and charges 5% to every customer at home. Highway 104 / Trans-Canada corridor runs through the code, and highway trade has its own rules: freight moving between provinces is a zero-rated interlining supply in the carrier's hands, while the fuel, meals and repairs bought along the way carry B6L's 14% like any other local purchase.

Everything above is particular to B6L; the rules that are not — registration thresholds, filing frequency, input tax credit recovery, point-of-sale rebates — are set for the whole of Nova Scotia, and they live on the Nova Scotia sales tax guide rather than being restated on B6L's page, where the calculator above is already locked to 14%.
