Where J4B Sits — and What That Changes at the Till

J4B sits about 15 km northeast of Montreal, the nearest centre of any size, and is the only postal area our data records for Boucherville. Its closest postal neighbours are J4N (Longueuil) about 4 km off and J4M (Longueuil) about 6 km off.

The nearest postal area we hold in another province is K6A (Hawkesbury, Ontario), about 90 km from J4B. A $500 order delivered into J4B 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 Boucherville shipping to both charges 14.975% on the first and 13% on the second, from the same warehouse on the same day.

J4B is suburban ground serving about 42,000 across 3 communities — the settlement pattern where delivered goods matter most. A parcel addressed into J4B carries Quebec's 14.975% even when the seller is registered in Alberta and charges 5% to every customer at home. Around Boucherville industrial park, an unusually large share of local transactions are business-to-business, where GST + QST is recovered as an input tax credit rather than borne as a cost. The figure on the invoice and the figure that actually lands on the buyer are not the same, and that gap is the most-misread line in industrial bookkeeping.

The 14.975% above is set for the whole of Quebec and does not move between postal codes — J4B 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 J4B 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 J4B; 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 J4B's page, where the calculator above is already locked to 14.975%.

Selling into J4B: 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 J4B 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.
