About New Brunswick Sales Tax

New Brunswick has a 15% combined sales tax rate, consisting of the 5% federal GST and 10% provincial HST.

New Brunswick 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 E4H Sits — and What That Changes at the Till

E4H sits about 40 km south of Moncton, the nearest centre of any size, and is the only postal area our data records for Riverside-Albert. Its closest postal neighbours are E4K (Dorchester) about 25 km off and E1J (Riverview) about 35 km off.

The nearest postal area we hold in another province is B0L (River Hebert / Joggins area, Nova Scotia), about 30 km from E4H. A $500 order delivered into E4H carries $75.00 in HST; the same order delivered into B0L carries $70.00 in HST$5.00 apart on one invoice. Because Canadian sales tax follows the customer, a seller in Riverside-Albert shipping to both charges 15% on the first and 14% on the second, from the same warehouse on the same day.

4 named communities share this one code — Alma and Hillsborough among them — which is the ordinary shape of rural New Brunswick: the postal geography is wide, the retail geography is narrow. General merchandise is bought in one or two service centres or ordered in, and an order shipped into E4H takes 15% however far the seller sits from Riverside-Albert. Around Fundy National Park, demand is seasonal, and seasonal demand is where the small-supplier threshold bites hardest: an operator who only trades in summer can cross $30,000 inside a single quarter and owes HST from the sale that took them over it, not from the following year.

Everything above is particular to E4H; the rules that are not — registration thresholds, filing frequency, input tax credit recovery, point-of-sale rebates — are set for the whole of New Brunswick, and they live on the New Brunswick sales tax guide rather than being restated on E4H'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 E4H cover?

The Forward Sortation Area E4H covers Alma, Hillsborough, Riverside-Albert and Hopewell Cape in the Albert County region of New Brunswick in a predominantly rural setting. Retail and civic landmarks inside the code include Fundy National Park and Hopewell Rocks — the places where purchases in E4H actually happen.

What is the sales tax rate for FSA E4H in New Brunswick?

The combined sales tax rate for postal code FSA E4H in the Hillsborough area of New Brunswick 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 New Brunswick (FSA E4H)?

To calculate the total price including sales tax for any purchase in New Brunswick, 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 New Brunswick resolves to $100.00 before tax and $15.00 of HST.

Does New Brunswick use HST or separate GST and PST?

New Brunswick 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 E4H — urban, suburban or rural?

E4H is a predominantly rural code, within the Albert County region. Retail is concentrated in a few centres, so residents frequently buy online or drive to a larger town — both of which are still taxed at the same provincial rate, but delivery-based purchases follow the destination rule to this postal code.

Do local taxes in E4H change what I pay?

Not the sales tax itself — New Brunswick 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 Riverside-Albert 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 New Brunswick sales tax guide for the province-wide rules.

How does FSA E4H map to a sales tax rate?

The Forward Sortation Area (FSA) is the first three characters of a Canadian postal code. E4H falls within the range assigned to New Brunswick, specifically the Hillsborough 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 E4H, you know it is a New Brunswick sale and you charge 15%. That matters most for shipped orders, where the buyer's postal code — not your own — decides the rate.
