Sales Tax for T5N — Edmonton

What Postal Code T5N Covers

T5N covers Glenora and Westmount in west-central Edmonton, among the city's most architecturally intact early neighbourhoods. Glenora was laid out in 1907 with restrictive covenants and remains a designated heritage area with substantial period homes along Ada Boulevard and Stony Plain Road. Government House, the former viceregal residence, sits above the river valley here.

Where T5N Sits — and What That Changes at the Till

The centroid of T5N falls roughly 4 km west of Edmonton, and the code shares its delivery city with 38 other postal areas. Its closest postal neighbours are T5M (Edmonton) about 2 km off and T5K (Edmonton) about 2 km off.

The nearest ground where the rate changes is about 240 km away — S9V in Saskatchewan, at 11%. That distance is the useful part: nothing bought or delivered in T5N 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.

T5N is dense urban ground — 4 named neighbourhoods inside one postal area, about 25,000 — and density changes the taxable mix rather than the rate. Prepared food, personal services and in-person retail dominate what is rung through Edmonton 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. Visitor spending around Glenora heritage district lands in accommodation, prepared food and admissions rather than durable goods. Admissions are their own category: one supplied by a charity or a municipality can be exempt outright, while a commercial attraction on the same street charges 5%.

The 5% above is set for the whole of Alberta and does not move between postal codes — T5N 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 T5N 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 T5N; 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 T5N's page, where the calculator above is already locked to 5%.

Selling into T5N: What You Need to Register For

Alberta runs a GST Only system administered by Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), with a registration threshold of $30,000 (federal GST). Filing frequency, input tax credit recovery, point-of-sale rebates and the full registration walkthrough are set out on the Alberta sales tax guide — they are province-wide rules, identical for every postal code here, so this page links them rather than repeating them.

1. Charge the rate the address decides. A delivery into T5N is an Alberta sale, so charge 5% GST — your own address does not enter into it.
2. Show it the way Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) expects. The GST amount as its own line item.

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 Alberta and is set out once on the Alberta sales tax guide and in the Alberta GST/HST calculator.
