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 M6M Covers
M6M covers Del Ray, Silverthorn and Keelesdale in the former City of York. Black Creek runs through the district toward the Humber River. The area is a long-established working-class immigrant neighbourhood, with Eglinton Avenue West redevelopment following the Crosstown line construction.

Where M6M Sits — and What That Changes at the Till
The centroid of M6M falls roughly 9 km northwest of Toronto, and the code shares its delivery city with 3 other postal areas. Its closest postal neighbours are M6N (Toronto (York)) about 2 km off and M6L (Toronto (North York)) about 2 km off.
The nearest ground where the rate changes is about 320 km away — J0X in Quebec, at 14.975%. That distance is the useful part: nothing bought or delivered in M6M 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.
M6M is dense urban ground — 4 named neighbourhoods inside one postal area, about 30,000 — 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.
The 13% above is set for the whole of Ontario and does not move between postal codes — M6M 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 M6M 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 M6M; 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 M6M'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 M6M cover?
The Forward Sortation Area M6M covers Del Ray, Silverthorn, Keelesdale and Mount Dennis (east) in the Del Ray / Silverthorn / Keelesdale, York region of Ontario, serving about 30,000 in a predominantly urban setting. Retail and civic landmarks inside the code include Eglinton Avenue West, Keelesdale Park and Black Creek — the places where purchases in M6M actually happen.
What is the sales tax rate for FSA M6M in Ontario?
The combined sales tax rate for postal code FSA M6M in the 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 M6M)?
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 M6M — urban, suburban or rural?
M6M is a predominantly urban code serving about 30,000, within the Del Ray / Silverthorn / Keelesdale, York 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 M6M 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 (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 M6M map to a sales tax rate?
The Forward Sortation Area (FSA) is the first three characters of a Canadian postal code. M6M falls within the range assigned to Ontario, specifically the 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 M6M, 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.
