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 P5N Covers
P5N serves the town of Kapuskasing in the Cochrane District of northeastern Ontario, a planned pulp-and-paper 'model town' on the Kapuskasing River. It is a small francophone-majority forestry town.

Where P5N Sits — and What That Changes at the Till
P5N sits about 130 km northwest of Timmins, the nearest centre of any size, and is the only postal area our data records for Kapuskasing. Its closest postal neighbours are P0L (Cochrane) about 110 km off and P4R (Timmins) about 130 km off.
The nearest ground where the rate changes is about 240 km away — J9Z in Quebec, at 14.975%. That distance is the useful part: nothing bought or delivered in P5N 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.
P5N is suburban ground serving about 8,000 across Kapuskasing — the settlement pattern where delivered goods matter most. A parcel addressed into P5N carries Ontario's 13% even when the seller is registered in Alberta and charges 5% to every customer at home.
Everything above is particular to P5N; 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 P5N'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 P5N cover?

What is the sales tax rate for FSA P5N in Ontario?
The combined sales tax rate for postal code FSA P5N in the Kapuskasing 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 P5N)?
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 P5N — urban, suburban or rural?
P5N is a predominantly suburban code serving about 8,000, within the Cochrane District, 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 P5N 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 Kapuskasing 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 P5N map to a sales tax rate?
The Forward Sortation Area (FSA) is the first three characters of a Canadian postal code. P5N falls within the range assigned to Ontario, specifically the Kapuskasing 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 P5N, 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.
