Where M1P Sits — and What That Changes at the Till

The centroid of M1P falls roughly 15 km northeast of Toronto, and the code shares its delivery city with 16 other postal areas. Its closest postal neighbours are M1H (Toronto (Scarborough)) about 3 km off and M1R (Toronto (Scarborough)) about 3 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 M1P 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.

M1P is suburban ground serving about 45,000 across 3 communities — the settlement pattern where delivered goods matter most. A parcel addressed into M1P 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 — M1P pays exactly what every other Ontario code pays. Overnight accommodation is where Toronto parts company with them. The city levies a 6% Municipal Accommodation Tax on top of HST, so a $200 room night inside M1P carries $12.00 that the identical room would not carry in an Ontario municipality that never adopted one. The rate came down from 8.5% on 1 August 2026, the temporary increase having lapsed. Hotels and short-term rentals are charged at the same rate.

Everything above is particular to M1P; 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 M1P's page, where the calculator above is already locked to 13%.

FSA M1P Tax Breakdown and Calculation Example

For FSA M1P in the Toronto (Scarborough) area, the sales tax rate is 13%. Here is how tax is calculated on typical purchase amounts:

Selling into M1P: 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 M1P 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.
