Sales Tax for M6C — Toronto (York)

What Postal Code M6C Covers

M6C covers Humewood-Cedarvale, a district shaped by the Cedarvale Ravine that runs through it as part of the Beltline trail system. The ravine was the intended route of the Spadina Expressway, cancelled in 1971 after sustained public opposition. Housing is largely interwar, with retail along St. Clair Avenue West.

Where M6C Sits — and What That Changes at the Till

The centroid of M6C falls roughly 6 km northwest of Toronto, and the code shares its delivery city with 3 other postal areas. Its closest postal neighbours are M6E (Toronto (York)) about 2 km off and M5P (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 M6C 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.

M6C is dense urban ground — 3 named neighbourhoods inside one postal area, about 15,000 — and density changes the taxable mix rather than the rate. Prepared food, personal services and in-person retail dominate what is rung through Toronto (York) 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. Event spending at Phil White Arena splits in a way that catches people out: tickets and concessions are taxable at 13%, while certain amateur-sport admissions and fundraising events at the same venue can be exempt.

The 13% above is set for the whole of Ontario and does not move between postal codes — M6C 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 M6C 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 M6C; 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 M6C's page, where the calculator above is already locked to 13%.

FSA M6C Tax Breakdown and Calculation Example

For FSA M6C in the Toronto (York) area, the sales tax rate is 13%. Here is how tax is calculated on typical purchase amounts:

Selling into M6C: 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 M6C 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.
