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.
What Postal Code E4Z Covers

Where E4Z Sits — and What That Changes at the Till
E4Z sits about 35 km southwest of Moncton, the nearest centre of any size, and is the only postal area our data records for Petitcodiac. Its closest postal neighbours are E4J (Salisbury) about 15 km off and E1J (Riverview) about 25 km off.
The nearest postal area we hold in another province is B0L (River Hebert / Joggins area, Nova Scotia), about 70 km from E4Z. A $500 order delivered into E4Z 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 Petitcodiac shipping to both charges 15% on the first and 14% on the second, from the same warehouse on the same day.
Petitcodiac anchors a rural code, so spending here runs to fuel, groceries and trades work rather than dense storefront retail. Trades invoices are where HST errors cluster in a code like E4Z: labour and materials are taxed the same way, but only the materials leave the contractor with a recoverable credit.
Everything above is particular to E4Z; 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 E4Z'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 E4Z cover?
The Forward Sortation Area E4Z covers Petitcodiac, Elgin and Three Rivers in the Westmorland County region of New Brunswick in a predominantly rural setting. Retail and civic landmarks inside the code include Petitcodiac River headwaters — the places where purchases in E4Z actually happen.
What is the sales tax rate for FSA E4Z in New Brunswick?
The combined sales tax rate for postal code FSA E4Z in the Elgin 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 E4Z)?
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 E4Z — urban, suburban or rural?
E4Z is a predominantly rural code, within the Westmorland 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 E4Z 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 Petitcodiac 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 E4Z map to a sales tax rate?
The Forward Sortation Area (FSA) is the first three characters of a Canadian postal code. E4Z falls within the range assigned to New Brunswick, specifically the Elgin 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 E4Z, 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.
