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 M2K Covers

M2K covers Bayview Village, a planned 1950s neighbourhood of curving streets and mature trees on the east side of Bayview Avenue. Its shopping centre has been repositioned as one of the more upscale malls in the city. The East Don Parkland trail follows the river valley along the district's eastern edge.

Where M2K Sits — and What That Changes at the Till

The centroid of M2K falls roughly 15 km north of Toronto, and the code shares its delivery city with 22 other postal areas. Its closest postal neighbours are M2L (Toronto (North York)) about 2 km off and M2J (Toronto (North York)) about 2 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 M2K 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.

M2K is suburban ground serving about 25,000 across 3 communities — the settlement pattern where delivered goods matter most. A parcel addressed into M2K carries Ontario's 13% even when the seller is registered in Alberta and charges 5% to every customer at home. General merchandise here concentrates around Bayview Village Shopping Centre, and all of it carries the full 13% — while the basic groceries sold in the same catchment are zero-rated federally and carry nothing at all. Two outcomes on one shopping trip, and the usual source of "why was part of my receipt taxed differently".

The 13% above is set for the whole of Ontario and does not move between postal codes — M2K 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 M2K 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 M2K; 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 M2K's page, where the calculator above is already locked to 13%.

Selling into M2K: 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 M2K 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 M2K cover?

The Forward Sortation Area M2K covers Bayview Village, Bayview Woods (south) and Sheppard East in the Bayview Village, North York region of Ontario, serving about 25,000 in a predominantly suburban setting. Retail and civic landmarks inside the code include Bayview Village Shopping Centre, Bayview station and East Don Parkland — the places where purchases in M2K actually happen.

What is the sales tax rate for FSA M2K in Ontario?

The combined sales tax rate for postal code FSA M2K in the North York 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 M2K)?

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 M2K — urban, suburban or rural?

M2K is a predominantly suburban code serving about 25,000, within the Bayview Village, North York 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 M2K 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 Toronto (North York) 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 M2K map to a sales tax rate?

The Forward Sortation Area (FSA) is the first three characters of a Canadian postal code. M2K falls within the range assigned to Ontario, specifically the North York 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 M2K, 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.
