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."
