Sales Tax for H4G — Verdun

What Postal Code H4G Covers

H4G covers eastern Verdun along rue Wellington, repeatedly cited among the most vibrant commercial streets in Canada for its density of independent businesses. Verdun opened Montreal's first urban river beach in 2019 on the Saint Lawrence shoreline. The borough was a dry municipality until 2013, which long shaped the character of its main street.

Where H4G Sits — and What That Changes at the Till

The centroid of H4G falls roughly 5 km south of Montreal, and the code shares its delivery city with 1 other postal area. Its closest postal neighbours are H4E (Montréal) about 2 km off and H4H (Verdun) about 2 km off.

The nearest postal area we hold in another province is K6A (Hawkesbury, Ontario), about 85 km from H4G. A $500 order delivered into H4G carries $74.88 in GST + QST; the same order delivered into K6A carries $65.00 in HST — $9.88 apart on one invoice. Because Canadian sales tax follows the customer, a seller in Verdun shipping to both charges 14.975% on the first and 13% on the second, from the same warehouse on the same day.

H4G is dense urban ground — 3 named neighbourhoods inside one postal area, about 30,000 — and density changes the taxable mix rather than the rate. Prepared food, personal services and in-person retail dominate what is rung through Verdun 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. Around Verdun beach, 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 GST + QST from the sale that took them over it, not from the following year.

The 14.975% above is set for the whole of Quebec and does not move between postal codes — H4G 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 H4G 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 H4G; 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 H4G's page, where the calculator above is already locked to 14.975%.

Selling into H4G: 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 H4G 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.
