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 N6K Covers

N6K covers Byron and Riverbend in west London. Boler Mountain operates a ski hill and treetop adventure course within the city limits. Byron was an independent village until 1961 and retains a small commercial main street; Warbler Woods nearby is a significant Carolinian forest remnant.

Where N6K Sits — and What That Changes at the Till

The centroid of N6K falls roughly 7 km southwest of London, and the code shares its delivery city with 16 other postal areas. Its closest postal neighbours are N6H (London) about 4 km off and N6G (London) about 5 km off.

N6K is suburban ground serving about 30,000 across 4 communities — the settlement pattern where delivered goods matter most. A parcel addressed into N6K 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 — N6K pays exactly what every other Ontario code pays. Overnight accommodation is where London parts company with them. The city levies a 5% Municipal Accommodation Tax on top of HST, so a $200 room night inside N6K carries $10.00 that the identical room would not carry in an Ontario municipality that never adopted one. Short-term rentals were pulled into the by-law four years after the hotels, on 1 October 2022.

Everything above is particular to N6K; 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 N6K's page, where the calculator above is already locked to 13%.

Selling into N6K: 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 N6K 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 N6K cover?

The Forward Sortation Area N6K covers Byron, Riverbend, Oakridge (south) and Warbler Woods in the Middlesex County, southwestern Ontario region of Ontario, serving about 30,000 in a predominantly suburban setting. Retail and civic landmarks inside the code include Byron village, Warbler Woods, Boler Mountain and Kains Woods — the places where purchases in N6K actually happen.

What is the sales tax rate for FSA N6K in Ontario?

The combined sales tax rate for postal code FSA N6K in the London 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 N6K)?

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 N6K — urban, suburban or rural?

N6K is a predominantly suburban code serving about 30,000, within the Middlesex County, southwestern Ontario 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 N6K 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 London 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 N6K map to a sales tax rate?

The Forward Sortation Area (FSA) is the first three characters of a Canadian postal code. N6K falls within the range assigned to Ontario, specifically the London 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 N6K, 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.
