About Nunavut Sales Tax
Nunavut has a 5% combined sales tax rate, consisting of the 5% federal GST and no provincial sales tax (GST only).
Nunavut 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 X0B Covers
X0B covers the Kitikmeot region of western Nunavut, including the regional centre Cambridge Bay plus Kugluktuk and Gjoa Haven. These are remote High Arctic Inuit communities.

Where X0B Sits — and What That Changes at the Till
X0B sits about 1 km south of Cambridge Bay, the nearest centre of any size, and is the only postal area our data records for Cambridge Bay. The nearest other postal area in Nunavut is X0C (Rankin Inlet), some 900 km off — a fair measure of how much ground one code has to cover out here, and of why almost everything that is not bought locally arrives freight-forward. The zero in X0B is Canada Post's marker for a rural service area — every code in the X0 block is rural Nunavut — which is why one prefix has to cover 5 separate settlements here rather than a few city blocks.
5 named communities share this one code — Cambridge Bay and Kugluktuk among them — which is the ordinary shape of rural Nunavut: the postal geography is wide, the retail geography is narrow. General merchandise is bought in one or two service centres or ordered in, and an order shipped into X0B takes 5% however far the seller sits from Cambridge Bay.
Everything above is particular to X0B; the rules that are not — registration thresholds, filing frequency, input tax credit recovery, point-of-sale rebates — are set for the whole of Nunavut, and they live on the Nunavut sales tax guide rather than being restated on X0B'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 X0B cover?
The Forward Sortation Area X0B covers Cambridge Bay, Kugluktuk, Gjoa Haven, Taloyoak and Kugaaruk in the Nunavut (Kitikmeot Region) region of Nunavut in a predominantly rural setting.
What is the sales tax rate for FSA X0B in Nunavut?
The combined sales tax rate for postal code FSA X0B in Nunavut is 5%. This is the 5% federal GST only — Nunavut does not levy a provincial sales tax.
How do I calculate tax for a purchase in Nunavut (FSA X0B)?
To calculate the total price including sales tax for any purchase in Nunavut, 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 Nunavut resolves to $100.00 before tax and $5.00 of GST.
Does Nunavut use HST or separate GST and PST?
Nunavut uses a GST-only system. Only the 5% federal GST applies — there is no provincial sales tax.
What kind of area is X0B — urban, suburban or rural?
X0B is a predominantly rural code, within the Nunavut (Kitikmeot Region) region. Retail is concentrated in a few centres, so residents frequently buy online or drive to a larger town — both of which are still taxed at the same provincial rate, but delivery-based purchases follow the destination rule to this postal code.
Do local taxes in X0B change what I pay?
Not the sales tax itself — Nunavut 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 Cambridge Bay 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 Nunavut sales tax guide for the province-wide rules.
How does FSA X0B map to a sales tax rate?
The Forward Sortation Area (FSA) is the first three characters of a Canadian postal code. X0B falls within the range assigned to Nunavut. 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 X0B, you know it is a Nunavut sale and you charge 5%. That matters most for shipped orders, where the buyer's postal code — not your own — decides the rate.
