WAR TAXES

On April 13, 1915, the Special War Revenue Act became effective as follows:

WAR STAMP TAX ON LETTERS- AND POST CARDS

A "War Tax" Ic. Stamp, in addition to the ordinary postage, must be affixed to each letter and post card mailed in Canada, for delivery in Canada, the United States, and Mexico; also on letters and post cards mailed in Canada for the United Kingdom and British possessions, or wherever the two-cent rate applies.

Failure on the part of the sender of a letter or post card to comply with the above, such letter or post card will be sent to the dead letter office.

Wherever possible and procurable, stamps on which the words "War Tax" have been printed should be used for prepayment of the "War Tax," but should ordinary postage stamps be used for the purpose they will be accepted.

The "War Tax" Stamp should be affixed to the upper right-hand portion of envelope or post card. Circulars, catalogues, newspapers, and parcels are not subject to the "War Tax."

WAR STAMP TAX ON CHEQUES, SAVINGS DEPARTMENT RECEIPTS, BILLS OF EXCHANGE, PROMISSORY NOTES, ETC.

Cheques issued on Current Accounts.

Receipts and Cheques issued on Savings Department Accounts.

Bills of Exchange and Promissory Notes delivered to a Bank must have a two-cent Stamp affixed when drawn for an amount of $100 or less and an additional two-cent stamp on every $100 or fractional part in excess of $100.

The Issuer of a Cheque or Bank Receipt must affix the stamp before payment can be made.

The person who delivers a Bill of Exchange or Promissory Note to a bank must affix a stamp before delivery.

Telegrams and Cables. A "War Tax" of one-cent is to be paid on all Telegrams or Cables.

Express and Money Orders. A "War Tax" of two-cents is to be paid on all Express and Money Orders.

Postal Notes. A "War Tax" of one-cent is to be paid on all Postal Notes.

Stock Transfers. A stamp tax of two-cents must be paid on each share of stock transferred.

The Special War Revenue Act also covers Railway, Steamship and Ocean Tickets; Sleeping Car and Parlor Car Tckets; Proprietary or Patent Medicines; Perfumes and Wines.

As the Tax on the above list varies, according to the amount involved it is impossible for us to print the clause in detail. All items mentioned are, however, subject to a tax and the purchaser is liable for same.

2% - Multiply the prinicpal by the number of days to run, and divide by 180.

2 1/2% - Multiply by number of days, divide by 146.

3% - Multiply by number of days, divide by 120.

3 1/2% - Multiply by number of days, divide by 104.

4% - Multiply by number of days, divide by 90.

5% - Multiply by number of days, divide by 72.

6% - Multiply by number of days, divide by 60.

7% - Multiply by number of days, divide by 52.
