The $1.71 in stamps prepays postage of $1.46 (1 lb. @ 8 cents, 23 lbs. @ 6 cents) for Zone 5 parcel post plus 25¢ insurance fee. The war tax was to be paid by revenue stamps at a rate of 1¢ per 25¢ in postage according to the schedule: 1 to 24 cents: no tax, 25 cents - 1¢ tax, 26 to 50 cents: 2¢ tax, 51 to 75 cents: 3¢ tax; and each additional 25¢ or fraction: 1¢ additional tax. The 7¢ war tax on this tag incorrectly paid tax on the entire $1.71, tax should have been 6¢ as special service fees were not taxed.
