Campaign print is largely zero-rated. Election addresses are listed as zero-rated by name, and pamphlets, which HMRC describes as usually political, social or intellectual in content, are zero-rated too. Political content is never the difficulty. The standard-rated parts are the ones that are not reading matter: poll cards, ballot papers, boards, banners and rosettes.

What turns a campaign leaflet into a standard-rated form?
A reply slip that grows. HMRC accepts an item is not primarily for completion where a quarter or less of the total area is blank space plus parts to be detached and returned, counted together, and a canvass card designed to be filled in and sent back whole is standard-rated whatever its area.
