What Postal Code G6V Covers

G6V covers Vieux-Lévis across the St. Lawrence from Quebec City, linked by a ferry that has operated on the crossing since 1816.

Fort Number One nearby is one of three forts built in the 1860s to defend the capital.

Where G6V Sits — and What That Changes at the Till

G6V covers ground within about 3 km of the centre of Quebec City — one of 9 forward sortation areas the city is split across, each carrying the same 14.975% but covering very different retail. Its closest postal neighbours are G1R (Québec City) about 3 km off and G1A (Québec City) about 3 km off.

The nearest ground where the rate changes is about 210 km away — E7A in New Brunswick, at 15%. That distance is the useful part: nothing bought or delivered in G6V 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.

G6V is dense urban ground — 3 named neighbourhoods inside one postal area, about 20,000 — and density changes the taxable mix rather than the rate. Prepared food, personal services and in-person retail dominate what is rung through Lévis codes like this one, all of it at 14.975%, while the zero-rated grocery basics that anchor a suburban shop are a smaller share of the total than the province-wide averages suggest. Traffic through Traverse Québec–Lévis ferry shows up in the local mix as fuel, prepared food and accommodation rather than durable retail — categories where the rate is the same 14.975% but the separate municipal levies are not.

The 14.975% above is set for the whole of Quebec and does not move between postal codes — G6V 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 G6V 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 G6V; 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 G6V's page, where the calculator above is already locked to 14.975%.

Selling into G6V: What You Need to Register For

Quebec runs a GST + QST system administered by Revenu Québec (both GST and QST), with a registration threshold of $30,000 (GST/QST) ($30,000 (GST/QST via Revenu Québec) for remote sellers). Filing frequency, input tax credit recovery, point-of-sale rebates and the full registration walkthrough are set out on the Quebec sales tax guide — they are province-wide rules, identical for every postal code here, so this page links them rather than repeating them.

1. Charge the rate the address decides. A delivery into G6V is a Quebec sale, so charge 14.975% (5% GST + 9.975% provincial tax) — your own address does not enter into it.
2. 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.
