About Alberta Sales Tax
Alberta has a 5% combined sales tax rate, consisting of the 5% federal GST and no provincial sales tax (GST only).
Alberta does not levy a provincial sales tax, making it a GST-only jurisdiction. Only the 5% federal GST applies to most goods and services. This is the simplest tax environment in Canada: one rate, one tax authority (CRA), and full ITC recovery. However, businesses selling into other provinces must still apply destination-based rates for those customers.
What Postal Code T4V Covers
T4V covers the city of Camrose southeast of Edmonton, a regional service centre with Scandinavian heritage, home to the University of Alberta's Augustana Campus and the Big Valley Jamboree country-music festival.

Where T4V Sits — and What That Changes at the Till
T4V sits about 75 km southeast of Edmonton, the nearest centre of any size, and is the only postal area our data records for Camrose. Its closest postal neighbours are T9A (Wetaskiwin) about 35 km off and T4X (Beaumont) about 55 km off.
The nearest ground where the rate changes is about 190 km away — S9V in Saskatchewan, at 11%. That distance is the useful part: nothing bought or delivered in T4V 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.
T4V is dense urban ground — a single neighbourhood inside one postal area, about 18,700 — and density changes the taxable mix rather than the rate. Prepared food, personal services and in-person retail dominate what is rung through Camrose codes like this one, all of it at 5%, while the zero-rated grocery basics that anchor a suburban shop are a smaller share of the total than the province-wide averages suggest.
The 5% above is set for the whole of Alberta and does not move between postal codes — T4V pays exactly what every other Alberta code pays. The bill that does move is an overnight one. Alberta's 6% tourism levy applies on top of GST, and has done at that rate since 1 April 2026, so a $200 room night inside T4V carries $12.00 of it. It was 4% before that. The base is wider than the room rate: booking, service and administration fees, pet charges, cleaning and even smoking-in-a-non-smoking-room penalties are inside it. It runs out at 28 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 T4V; the rules that are not — registration thresholds, filing frequency, input tax credit recovery, point-of-sale rebates — are set for the whole of Alberta, and they live on the Alberta sales tax guide rather than being restated on T4V's page, where the calculator above is already locked to 5%.

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers to the most common questions users ask.
What areas does postal code T4V cover?
The Forward Sortation Area T4V covers Camrose in the Central Alberta region of Alberta, serving about 18,700 in a predominantly urban setting. Retail and civic landmarks inside the code include University of Alberta Augustana Campus, Mirror Lake and Big Valley Jamboree — the places where purchases in T4V actually happen.
What is the sales tax rate for FSA T4V in Alberta?
The combined sales tax rate for postal code FSA T4V in the Camrose area of Alberta is 5%. This is the 5% federal GST only — Alberta does not levy a provincial sales tax.
How do I calculate tax for a purchase in Alberta (FSA T4V)?
To calculate the total price including sales tax for any purchase in Alberta, multiply the purchase price by 1.5. For example, a $100.00 purchase costs $105.00 total, with $5.00 in sales tax.
For the reverse calculation, divide the total price by 1.5 to find the pre-tax amount. Run the example above backwards and $105.00 paid in Alberta resolves to $100.00 before tax and $5.00 of GST.
Does Alberta use HST or separate GST and PST?
Alberta uses a GST-only system. Only the 5% federal GST applies — there is no provincial sales tax.
What kind of area is T4V — urban, suburban or rural?
T4V is a predominantly urban code serving about 18,700, within the Central Alberta region. Retail density is high, which means a large share of taxable transactions here are in-person, prepared food, and services rather than shipped goods.
Do local taxes in T4V change what I pay?
Not the sales tax itself — Alberta levies 5% 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 Camrose can total more than 5% while a retail receipt from the same street does not. Check the municipality's own schedule for those, and see the Alberta sales tax guide for the province-wide rules.
How does FSA T4V map to a sales tax rate?
The Forward Sortation Area (FSA) is the first three characters of a Canadian postal code. T4V falls within the range assigned to Alberta, specifically the Camrose 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 T4V, you know it is an Alberta sale and you charge 5%. That matters most for shipped orders, where the buyer's postal code — not your own — decides the rate.
