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 T6M Covers
T6M covers the Lewis Farms area at Edmonton's western edge, developed from the late 1990s onward. The district sits against the Anthony Henday ring road and is almost entirely recent residential subdivision. Retail is limited within the area itself, with residents drawn to West Edmonton Mall and the Webber Greens power centres.

Where T6M Sits — and What That Changes at the Till
The centroid of T6M falls roughly 10 km west of Edmonton, and the code shares its delivery city with 38 other postal areas. Its closest postal neighbours are T5T (Edmonton) about 3 km off and T5S (Edmonton) about 5 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 T6M 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.
T6M is suburban ground serving about 25,000 across 4 communities — the settlement pattern where delivered goods matter most. A parcel addressed into T6M carries Alberta's 5% even when the seller is registered in Ontario and charges 13% to every customer at home.
The 5% above is set for the whole of Alberta and does not move between postal codes — T6M 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 T6M 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 T6M; 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 T6M'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 T6M cover?
The Forward Sortation Area T6M covers The Hamptons, Suder Greens, Breckenridge Greens and Potter Greens in the West Edmonton region of Alberta, serving about 25,000 in a predominantly suburban setting. Retail and civic landmarks inside the code include Lewis Farms, Anthony Henday Drive (west) and The Hamptons — the places where purchases in T6M actually happen.
What is the sales tax rate for FSA T6M in Alberta?
The combined sales tax rate for postal code FSA T6M 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 T6M)?
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 T6M — urban, suburban or rural?
T6M is a predominantly suburban code serving about 25,000, within the West 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 T6M 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 T6M map to a sales tax rate?
The Forward Sortation Area (FSA) is the first three characters of a Canadian postal code. T6M 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 T6M, 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.
