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 T5V Covers
T5V covers the northwest industrial district of Edmonton along the Yellowhead Trail. The area is dominated by warehousing, manufacturing and distribution serving the city's role as the northern supply hub for Alberta's resource industries. Residential population is minimal and commerce is business-to-business.

Where T5V Sits — and What That Changes at the Till
The centroid of T5V falls roughly 7 km northwest of Edmonton, and the code shares its delivery city with 38 other postal areas. Its closest postal neighbours are T5L (Edmonton) about 2 km off and T6V (Edmonton) about 3 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 T5V 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.
T5V is suburban ground across 4 communities — the settlement pattern where delivered goods matter most. A parcel addressed into T5V carries Alberta's 5% even when the seller is registered in Ontario and charges 13% to every customer at home. 184 Street corridor runs through the code, and highway trade has its own rules: freight moving between provinces is a zero-rated interlining supply in the carrier's hands, while the fuel, meals and repairs bought along the way carry T5V's 5% like any other local purchase.
The 5% above is set for the whole of Alberta and does not move between postal codes — T5V 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 T5V 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 T5V; 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 T5V'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 T5V cover?
The Forward Sortation Area T5V covers Dominion industrial, Kensington industrial, Northwest industrial and Mistatim Industrial in the Northwest Edmonton region of Alberta in a predominantly suburban setting. Retail and civic landmarks inside the code include Yellowhead Trail, Northwest industrial district and 184 Street corridor — the places where purchases in T5V actually happen.
What is the sales tax rate for FSA T5V in Alberta?
The combined sales tax rate for postal code FSA T5V in the Edmonton 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 T5V)?
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 T5V — urban, suburban or rural?
T5V is a predominantly suburban code, within the Northwest Edmonton 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 T5V 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 Edmonton 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 T5V map to a sales tax rate?
The Forward Sortation Area (FSA) is the first three characters of a Canadian postal code. T5V falls within the range assigned to Alberta, specifically the Edmonton 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 T5V, 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.
