Where M3B Sits — and What That Changes at the Till

The centroid of M3B falls roughly 10 km north of Toronto, and the code shares its delivery city with 22 other postal areas. Its closest postal neighbours are M3A (Toronto (North York)) about 2 km off and M2L (Toronto (North York)) about 2 km off.

The nearest ground where the rate changes is about 310 km away — J0X in Quebec, at 14.975%. That distance is the useful part: nothing bought or delivered in M3B 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.

M3B is suburban ground serving about 25,000 across 4 communities — the settlement pattern where delivered goods matter most. A parcel addressed into M3B 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 — M3B 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 M3B 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 M3B; 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 M3B's page, where the calculator above is already locked to 13%.

Selling into M3B: 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 M3B 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.
