HC Deb 06 November 1974 vol 880 c158W
Mr. Gordon Wilson

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will zero rate the value added tax levied on election posters in the same manner as for election addresses and leaflets.

Dr. Gilbert

Election literature is treated for the purposes of value added tax in the same way as comparable printed material prepared for other purposes. My right hon. Friend does not propose to provide special relief for election posters.
