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 P0T Covers
P0T covers the north shore of Lake Superior in the Thunder Bay District, including Nipigon, Terrace Bay, Schreiber and Marathon along the Trans-Canada Highway, plus inland points like Manitouwadge and Armstrong. It is a vast, sparsely populated region of Canadian Shield, boreal forest and Lake Superior coastline. Forestry, mining and tourism sustain the towns.

Where P0T Sits — and What That Changes at the Till
P0T sits about 110 km northeast of Thunder Bay, the nearest centre of any size, and is the only postal area our data records for Nipigon / Terrace Bay. Its closest postal neighbours are P7A (Thunder Bay) about 100 km off and P7B (Thunder Bay) about 100 km off. The zero in P0T is Canada Post's marker for a rural service area — every code in the P0 block is rural Ontario — which is why one prefix has to cover 7 separate settlements here rather than a few city blocks.
7 named communities share this one code — Nipigon and Red Rock among them — which is the ordinary shape of rural Ontario: the postal geography is wide, the retail geography is narrow. General merchandise is bought in one or two service centres or ordered in, and an order shipped into P0T takes 13% however far the seller sits from Nipigon / Terrace Bay.
Everything above is particular to P0T; 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 P0T's page, where the calculator above is already locked to 13%.

Quick answers to the most common questions users ask.
What areas does postal code P0T cover?
The Forward Sortation Area P0T covers Nipigon, Red Rock, Terrace Bay, Schreiber, Marathon, Manitouwadge and Armstrong Station in the Lake Superior North Shore, Thunder Bay District, Ontario region of Ontario in a predominantly rural setting. Retail and civic landmarks inside the code include Lake Superior north shore and Lake Nipigon — the places where purchases in P0T actually happen.
What is the sales tax rate for FSA P0T in Ontario?
The combined sales tax rate for postal code FSA P0T in 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 P0T)?
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 P0T — urban, suburban or rural?
P0T is a predominantly rural code, within the Lake Superior North Shore, Thunder Bay District, Ontario region. Retail is concentrated in a few centres, so residents frequently buy online or drive to a larger town — both of which are still taxed at the same provincial rate, but delivery-based purchases follow the destination rule to this postal code.
Do local taxes in P0T 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 Nipigon / Terrace Bay 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 P0T map to a sales tax rate?
The Forward Sortation Area (FSA) is the first three characters of a Canadian postal code. P0T falls within the range assigned to Ontario. 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 P0T, 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.
