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 M4P Covers
M4P covers Davisville North and Mount Pleasant East, a district of interwar houses and postwar apartment buildings between Yonge and Bayview. Sherwood Park follows a ravine into the Don Valley system. The Eglinton Crosstown line has driven considerable redevelopment along the district's northern edge.

Where M4P Sits — and What That Changes at the Till
The centroid of M4P falls roughly 6 km north of Toronto, and the code shares its delivery city with 42 other postal areas. Its closest postal neighbours are M4S (Toronto) about 1 km off and M4R (Toronto) 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 M4P 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.
M4P is dense urban ground — 4 named neighbourhoods inside one postal area, about 20,000 — and density changes the taxable mix rather than the rate. Prepared food, personal services and in-person retail dominate what is rung through Toronto codes like this one, all of it at 13%, while the zero-rated grocery basics that anchor a suburban shop are a smaller share of the total than the province-wide averages suggest.
The 13% above is set for the whole of Ontario and does not move between postal codes — M4P 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 M4P 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 M4P; 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 M4P's page, where the calculator above is already locked to 13%.

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers to the most common questions users ask.
What areas does postal code M4P cover?
The Forward Sortation Area M4P covers Davisville North, Mount Pleasant East, Sherwood Park and Yonge and Eglinton (east) in the Davisville North, Old Toronto region of Ontario, serving about 20,000 in a predominantly urban setting. Retail and civic landmarks inside the code include Mount Pleasant Cemetery (north), Sherwood Park and Eglinton Avenue East — the places where purchases in M4P actually happen.
What is the sales tax rate for FSA M4P in Ontario?
The combined sales tax rate for postal code FSA M4P in the Toronto 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 M4P)?
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 M4P — urban, suburban or rural?
M4P is a predominantly urban code serving about 20,000, within the Davisville North, Old Toronto region. Retail density is high, which means a large share of taxable transactions here are in-person, prepared food, and services rather than shipped goods.
Do local taxes in M4P 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 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 M4P map to a sales tax rate?
The Forward Sortation Area (FSA) is the first three characters of a Canadian postal code. M4P falls within the range assigned to Ontario, specifically the Toronto 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 M4P, 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.
