Sales Tax for L5G — Mississauga (Port Credit)

What Postal Code L5G Covers

L5G covers Port Credit, the harbour village at the mouth of the Credit River that markets itself as Mississauga's village on the lake. Its Lakeshore Road strip carries a concentration of independent restaurants, patios and specialty shops unlike anything in the city's plaza-dominated interior. The marina and waterfront festivals drive a strongly seasonal trade, and the district is a focus of ongoing waterfront intensification around the GO station.

Where L5G Sits — and What That Changes at the Till

L5G sits about 20 km southwest of Toronto, the nearest centre of any size, and is the only postal area our data records for Mississauga (Port Credit). Its closest postal neighbours are L5A (Mississauga) about 4 km off and L5H (Mississauga) about 4 km off.

The nearest ground where the rate changes is about 330 km away — J0X in Quebec, at 14.975%. That distance is the useful part: nothing bought or delivered in L5G 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.

L5G is suburban ground serving about 25,000 across 3 communities — the settlement pattern where delivered goods matter most. A parcel addressed into L5G carries Ontario's 13% even when the seller is registered in Alberta and charges 5% to every customer at home. Traffic through Port Credit harbour and lighthouse shows up in the local mix as fuel, prepared food and accommodation rather than durable retail — categories where the rate is the same 13% but the separate municipal levies are not.

The 13% above is set for the whole of Ontario and does not move between postal codes — L5G 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 L5G 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 L5G; 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 L5G's page, where the calculator above is already locked to 13%.

FSA L5G Tax Breakdown and Calculation Example

For FSA L5G in the Mississauga (Port Credit) area, the sales tax rate is 13%. Here is how tax is calculated on typical purchase amounts:

Selling into L5G: 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 L5G 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.
