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 N6M Covers
N6M covers southeast London between Highbury Avenue and the Veterans Memorial Parkway — the Jackson and Old Victoria districts and the employment lands along Bradley Avenue, where industrial and logistics development has followed the parkway south toward Highway 401. Residential population is lighter here than in the city's older east end, with much of the land in employment or agricultural use, and Nilestown lies just beyond the city boundary to the east.

Where N6M Sits — and What That Changes at the Till
The centroid of N6M falls roughly 8 km east of London, and the code shares its delivery city with 16 other postal areas. Its closest postal neighbours are N5Z (London) about 5 km off and N5W (London) about 5 km off.
N6M is suburban ground serving about 15,000 across 5 communities — the settlement pattern where delivered goods matter most. A parcel addressed into N6M 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 — N6M 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 N6M 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 N6M; 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 N6M'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 N6M cover?
The Forward Sortation Area N6M covers Jackson, Old Victoria, Bradley Avenue corridor, Highbury (south) and Nilestown (west) in the Middlesex County, southwestern Ontario region of Ontario, serving about 15,000 in a predominantly suburban setting. Retail and civic landmarks inside the code include Veterans Memorial Parkway, Bradley Avenue and Highbury Avenue South — the places where purchases in N6M actually happen.
What is the sales tax rate for FSA N6M in Ontario?
The combined sales tax rate for postal code FSA N6M 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 N6M)?
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 N6M — urban, suburban or rural?
N6M is a predominantly suburban code serving about 15,000, 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 N6M 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 N6M map to a sales tax rate?
The Forward Sortation Area (FSA) is the first three characters of a Canadian postal code. N6M 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 N6M, 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.
