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 T6T Covers

T6T covers The Meadows in southeast Edmonton, one of the city's fastest-growing districts since the 2000s. The Meadows Community Recreation Centre and Library is among the largest municipal facilities built in Edmonton in recent decades. The area has a substantial South Asian and Filipino population and newer power-centre retail.

Where T6T Sits — and What That Changes at the Till

The centroid of T6T falls roughly 10 km southeast of Edmonton, and the code shares its delivery city with 38 other postal areas. Its closest postal neighbours are T6P (Edmonton) about 2 km off and T6K (Edmonton) about 3 km off.

The nearest ground where the rate changes is about 230 km away — S9V in Saskatchewan, at 11%. That distance is the useful part: nothing bought or delivered in T6T 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.

T6T is suburban ground serving about 45,000 across 5 communities — the settlement pattern where delivered goods matter most. A parcel addressed into T6T 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 — T6T 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 T6T 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 T6T; 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 T6T's page, where the calculator above is already locked to 5%.

Selling into T6T: 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 T6T 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.

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers to the most common questions users ask.

What areas does postal code T6T cover?

The Forward Sortation Area T6T covers The Meadows, Laurel, Silver Berry, Tamarack and Maple in the Southeast Edmonton region of Alberta, serving about 45,000 in a predominantly suburban setting. Retail and civic landmarks inside the code include The Meadows Recreation Centre, Meadows Crossing and Anthony Henday (east) — the places where purchases in T6T actually happen.

What is the sales tax rate for FSA T6T in Alberta?

The combined sales tax rate for postal code FSA T6T 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 T6T)?

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 T6T — urban, suburban or rural?

T6T is a predominantly suburban code serving about 45,000, within the Southeast 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 T6T 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 T6T map to a sales tax rate?

The Forward Sortation Area (FSA) is the first three characters of a Canadian postal code. T6T 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 T6T, 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.
