About Ontario Sales Tax

Ontario has a 13% combined sales tax rate, consisting of the 5% federal GST and 8% provincial HST.

Ontario uses the Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) system. The HST combines the 5% federal GST and the provincial portion into a single streamlined rate administered entirely by the Canada Revenue Agency. Businesses file one return, claim one set of input tax credits (ITCs), and remit to one authority — significantly simplifying compliance compared to dual-tax provinces.

What Postal Code L7B Covers

L7B covers King City and the surrounding hamlets of King Township, a rural municipality protected from intensive development by the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan and the Greenbelt. Seneca Polytechnic's King Campus occupies a former estate on Lake Seneca, and the Mary Lake Monastery grounds nearby are a longstanding Augustinian retreat. The village keeps a compact main street serving a township known for equestrian properties and large rural estates.

Where L7B Sits — and What That Changes at the Till

L7B sits about 35 km north of Toronto, the nearest centre of any size, and is the only postal area our data records for King City. Its closest postal neighbours are L4E (Richmond Hill) about 7 km off and L6A (Maple (Vaughan)) about 8 km off.

The nearest ground where the rate changes is about 300 km away — J0X in Quebec, at 14.975%. That distance is the useful part: nothing bought or delivered in L7B 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.

King City anchors a mixed code serving about 10,000, so spending here runs to fuel, groceries and trades work rather than dense storefront retail. Trades invoices are where HST errors cluster in a code like L7B: labour and materials are taxed the same way, but only the materials leave the contractor with a recoverable credit. With Seneca Polytechnic King Campus inside the code, spending skews toward prepared food and second-hand goods. Buying used from someone who is not registered carries no HST whatsoever, which is why two identical desks can change hands in L7B at prices 13% apart.

Everything above is particular to L7B; 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 L7B's page, where the calculator above is already locked to 13%.

Selling into L7B: 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 L7B 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.

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers to the most common questions users ask.

What areas does postal code L7B cover?

The Forward Sortation Area L7B covers King City, Kettleby, Mary Lake and Snowball in the King Township, York Region region of Ontario, serving about 10,000 in a predominantly mixed setting. Retail and civic landmarks inside the code include Seneca Polytechnic King Campus, Mary Lake Monastery, Oak Ridges Moraine and King City GO Station — the places where purchases in L7B actually happen.

What is the sales tax rate for FSA L7B in Ontario?

The combined sales tax rate for postal code FSA L7B in the King City area of Ontario is 13%. This is a Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) that combines the 5% federal GST with an 8% provincial component into a single rate administered by the Canada Revenue Agency.

How do I calculate tax for a purchase in Ontario (FSA L7B)?

To calculate the total price including sales tax for any purchase in Ontario, multiply the purchase price by 1.13. For example, a $100.00 purchase costs $113.00 total, with $13.00 in sales tax.

For the reverse calculation, divide the total price by 1.13 to find the pre-tax amount. Run the example above backwards and $113.00 paid in Ontario resolves to $100.00 before tax and $13.00 of HST.

Does Ontario use HST or separate GST and PST?

Ontario uses a Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) system. The HST combines the 5% federal GST with the 8% provincial component into a single rate of 13%. Businesses file one return with the CRA.

What kind of area is L7B — urban, suburban or rural?

L7B is a predominantly mixed code serving about 10,000, within the King Township, York Region region. That mix means both in-store and delivered purchases are common, and delivered orders take the rate for this postal code rather than the seller's.

Do local taxes in L7B change what I pay?

Not the sales tax itself — Ontario levies 13% province-wide and there is no municipal sales tax in Canada. What can differ by municipality are the separate levies that sit outside sales tax: accommodation and lodging taxes on short-term stays, and in some provinces local levies on prepared food or alcohol.

So a hotel folio or restaurant bill from King City can total more than 13% while a retail receipt from the same street does not. Check the municipality's own schedule for those, and see the Ontario sales tax guide for the province-wide rules.

How does FSA L7B map to a sales tax rate?

The Forward Sortation Area (FSA) is the first three characters of a Canadian postal code. L7B falls within the range assigned to Ontario, specifically the King City area. Canada sets sales tax provincially rather than municipally, so the FSA's job here is to place the buyer: once you know a delivery address sits in L7B, you know it is an Ontario sale and you charge 13%. That matters most for shipped orders, where the buyer's postal code — not your own — decides the rate.
