Sales Tax for L5C — Mississauga

What Postal Code L5C Covers

L5C covers the Erindale and Creditview districts of central Mississauga along the Credit River. Erindale Park, the city's largest park, follows the river valley through the postal area and preserves a substantial natural corridor amid otherwise built-up suburbs. The village of Erindale on Dundas Street West retains a small heritage commercial core from its 19th-century origins.

Where L5C Sits — and What That Changes at the Till

The centroid of L5C falls roughly 25 km west of Toronto, and the code shares its delivery city with 20 other postal areas. Its closest postal neighbours are L5B (Mississauga) about 3 km off and L5L (Mississauga) about 4 km off.

The nearest ground where the rate changes is about 340 km away — J0X in Quebec, at 14.975%. That distance is the useful part: nothing bought or delivered in L5C 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.

L5C is suburban ground serving about 35,000 across 4 communities — the settlement pattern where delivered goods matter most. A parcel addressed into L5C carries Ontario's 13% even when the seller is registered in Alberta and charges 5% to every customer at home.

The 13% above is set for the whole of Ontario and does not move between postal codes — L5C pays exactly what every other Ontario code pays. Overnight accommodation is where Mississauga parts company with them. The city levies a 6% Municipal Accommodation Tax on top of HST, so a $200 room night inside L5C carries $12.00 that the identical room would not carry in an Ontario municipality that never adopted one. It runs out at 30 nights: once the same guest has stayed that long continuously the booking stops being transient accommodation, and the levy stops with it. HST is then charged on top of the MAT itself, so the levy sits inside the base the 13% is worked out on rather than beside it.

Everything above is particular to L5C; the rules that are not — registration thresholds, filing frequency, input tax credit recovery, point-of-sale rebates — are set for the whole of Ontario, and they live on the Ontario sales tax guide rather than being restated on L5C's page, where the calculator above is already locked to 13%.

FSA L5C Tax Breakdown and Calculation Example

For FSA L5C in the Mississauga area, the sales tax rate is 13%. Here is how tax is calculated on typical purchase amounts:

Selling into L5C: What You Need to Register For

Ontario runs a HST system administered by Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), with a registration threshold of $30,000 (HST). Filing frequency, input tax credit recovery, point-of-sale rebates and the full registration walkthrough are set out on the Ontario 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 L5C is an Ontario sale, so charge 13% HST — your own address does not enter into it.
2. Show it the way Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) expects. One HST line and the total tax amount on each 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 Ontario and is set out once on the Ontario sales tax guide and in the Ontario GST/HST calculator.
