About Quebec Sales Tax
Quebec has a 14.975% combined sales tax rate, consisting of the 5% federal GST and 9.975% provincial QST.
Quebec uses a dual tax system where the 5% federal GST and 9.975% Quebec Sales Tax (QST) are calculated separately on the purchase price. Both taxes are administered by Revenu Québec. Unlike other PST provinces, the QST is recoverable as an Input Tax Refund (ITR) for registered businesses. Remote sellers must register once they exceed $30,000 in Quebec sales.

Where G6L Sits — and What That Changes at the Till
G6L sits about 25 km northeast of Victoriaville, the nearest centre of any size, and is the only postal area our data records for Plessisville. Its closest postal neighbours are G0S (Laurierville / Lotbinière) about 15 km off and G6S (Victoriaville) about 25 km off.
The nearest ground where the rate changes is about 230 km away — K6A in Ontario, at 13%. That distance is the useful part: nothing bought or delivered in G6L is a borderline case, so the only rate question worth asking here is whether the sale is taxable at all, not which province's number applies to it.
Plessisville anchors a rural code serving about 12,000 (combined), so spending here runs to fuel, groceries and trades work rather than dense storefront retail. Trades invoices are where GST + QST errors cluster in a code like G6L: labour and materials are taxed the same way, but only the materials leave the contractor with a recoverable credit.
The 14.975% above is set for the whole of Quebec and does not move between postal codes — G6L pays exactly what every other Quebec code pays. The bill that does move is an overnight one. Quebec's 3.5% tax on lodging applies on top of GST + QST, so a $200 room night inside G6L carries $7.00 of it. Charged on the price of the overnight stay only — the value of breakfast, parking and other services bundled with the room is excluded from the base. It runs out at 32 nights: once the same guest has stayed that long continuously the booking stops being transient accommodation, and the levy stops with it.
Everything above is particular to G6L; the rules that are not — registration thresholds, filing frequency, input tax credit recovery, point-of-sale rebates — are set for the whole of Quebec, and they live on the Quebec sales tax guide rather than being restated on G6L's page, where the calculator above is already locked to 14.975%.

- Show it the way Revenu Québec (both GST and QST) expects. GST and QST as separate line items — Revenu Québec requires the breakdown on every Quebec invoice.
Everything else about selling here — thresholds, filing frequency, ITC recovery, point-of-sale rebates, and the full province-by-province sourcing rules — is identical for every postal code in Quebec and is set out once on the Quebec sales tax guide and in the Quebec GST/HST calculator.

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers to the most common questions users ask.
What areas does postal code G6L cover?
The Forward Sortation Area G6L covers Plessisville and Princeville in the Centre-du-Québec (L'Érable) region of Quebec, serving about 12,000 (combined) in a predominantly rural setting. Retail and civic landmarks inside the code include Festival de l'Érable (maple festival), Musée de l'érable and Cité de l'Érable — the places where purchases in G6L actually happen.
What is the sales tax rate for FSA G6L in Quebec?
The combined sales tax rate for postal code FSA G6L in the Plessisville area of Quebec is 14.975%. This consists of the 5% federal GST plus a 9.975% provincial sales tax (PST/QST/RST), calculated separately on the purchase price.
How do I calculate tax for a purchase in Quebec (FSA G6L)?
To calculate the total price including sales tax for any purchase in Quebec, multiply the purchase price by 1.14975. For example, a $100.00 purchase costs $114.98 total, with $14.97 in sales tax.
For the reverse calculation, divide the total price by 1.14975 to find the pre-tax amount. Run the example above backwards and $114.98 paid in Quebec resolves to $100.00 before tax and $14.97 of tax.
Does Quebec use HST or separate GST and PST?
Quebec uses a dual GST + PST/QST system. The 5% federal GST and 9.975% provincial QST are calculated separately on the purchase price. Businesses must register with both the CRA and the provincial tax authority.
What kind of area is G6L — urban, suburban or rural?
G6L is a predominantly rural code serving about 12,000 (combined), within the Centre-du-Québec (L'Érable) 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 G6L change what I pay?
Not the sales tax itself — Quebec levies 14.975% 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 Plessisville can total more than 14.975% while a retail receipt from the same street does not. Check the municipality's own schedule for those, and see the Quebec sales tax guide for the province-wide rules.
How does FSA G6L map to a sales tax rate?
The Forward Sortation Area (FSA) is the first three characters of a Canadian postal code. G6L falls within the range assigned to Quebec, specifically the Plessisville 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 G6L, you know it is a Quebec sale and you charge 14.975%. That matters most for shipped orders, where the buyer's postal code — not your own — decides the rate.
