British Postal Orders written off.—Postmasters may write off the full value, including commission, of British postal orders accidentally spoilt, or those in respect of which a special direction has been given by the Accountant, General Post Office. Such orders must be treated by Postmasters as a remittance of the amount which they represent, and Chief Postmasters will take credit therefor under the proper heading in the Daily Cash Account, care being taken to see that the orders are sent to the Accountant, General Post Office, with the account in which credit is claimed.
-
Postal Guides.—The value of the Guides issued to subscribers, also those issued free of charge, or returned to the Accountant, General Post Office, must be taken credit for by Chief Postmasters under the heading provided in the Daily Cash Account. Those remaining unsold at the end of the quarter should be sent to the Accountant, General Post Office. Care must be exercised to avoid writing off Guides when the previous account shows that there is no balance of Guides on hand.
-
Discount-stamps redeemed and written off.—Discount-stamps, when presented in the form indicated in Rule No. 722, may be redeemed and their value taken credit for under the above heading. Special care must be exercised to prevent their being included with postage-stamps under the head of "Postage refunded." No commission is allowed on the sale of discount-stamps. Postmasters' Accounts must be carefully examined to see that any discount-stamps held are properly shown as such in the explanation of the balance.
-

Discount is allowed to non-permanent Postmasters on purchases of one pound's worth and upwards.
