Where P3N Sits — and What That Changes at the Till

The centroid of P3N falls roughly 10 km north of Sudbury, and the code shares its delivery city with 5 other postal areas. Its closest postal neighbours are P3P (Greater Sudbury (Hanmer)) about 6 km off and P3A (Greater Sudbury) about 10 km off.

The nearest postal area we hold in another province is J0Z (Témiscaming, Quebec), about 140 km from P3N. A $500 order delivered into P3N carries $65.00 in HST; the same order delivered into J0Z carries $74.88 in GST + QST — $9.88 apart on one invoice. Because Canadian sales tax follows the customer, a seller in Greater Sudbury shipping to both charges 13% on the first and 14.975% on the second, from the same warehouse on the same day.

P3N is suburban ground across 4 communities — the settlement pattern where delivered goods matter most. A parcel addressed into P3N 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 — P3N pays exactly what every other Ontario code pays. Overnight accommodation is where Greater Sudbury parts company with them. The city levies a 6% Municipal Accommodation Tax on top of HST, so a $200 room night inside P3N carries $12.00 that the identical room would not carry in an Ontario municipality that never adopted one. The rate rose from 4% on 1 January 2025. It runs out at 30 nights: once the same guest has stayed that long continuously the booking stops being transient accommodation, and the levy stops with it.

Everything above is particular to P3N; 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 P3N's page, where the calculator above is already locked to 13%.

Selling into P3N: What You Need to Register For

1. Charge the rate the address decides. A delivery into P3N 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.
