Oxford University Press's 1978 application for exemption from UK Corporation Tax

Internal Inland Revenue handwritten note by E. A. Rapsey, 22nd August 1978

TECHNICAL DIVISION (Somerset House)

Reference PS 1199/50

Having read all the evidence, and I find it difficult to see how we can distinguish this case from the Cambridge U.P.

Undoubtedly the OUP has a more commercial poise (I have always noted that CUP books always looked dreary, dreariness obviously equating with learning in Cambridge, whereas OUP dress up their covers with more eye-appeal), however this is not all that relevant and I cannot see that any significant part of their output could be said to be outside the University's primary educational purpose.

I would recommend that the claim be accepted.
