(as this is not subject to the ASA’s Code of Advertising Practice (CAP))
This is subject to CAP rules, but its exclusion from the levy is simply due to the impracticability of collection from the very small units of expenditure involved. However, you do have the option to still contribute here, and pay a levy sum equal to 0.025% of client media billings, including lineage and semi-display.

The Mailing Preference Service (MPS) is a free service for the public (funded by the direct mail industry), to enable them to have their names and home addresses in the UK removed from lists used by the industry. It is actively supported by Royal Mail – and all directly involved trade associations – and is fully supported by The Information Commissioners Office (ICO). It is funded by the Mailing Standards levy, which is charged at £2 per £1,000 on the cost of postage, and is collected – in the main – by Royal Mail, included on its postage mailing invoices.
