The assessment is an official-looking (and very obviously whimsical) form that records your child's haul, applies the standard household rate, notes approved deductions for good sharing and stamps the result.

Questions from grown-ups

Halloween Candy Tax Assessment

Plain answers about this document, for the grown-ups doing the filing.

Q.1What is the candy tax?

It's a playful family tradition where grown-ups claim a small share of the Halloween haul. The Parental Revenue Service makes it official, with a form, a rate and a case number.

Q.2Is the Parental Revenue Service a real government agency?

No. It's an obvious parody with its own whimsical design. It isn't affiliated with, and doesn't imitate, any real government agency.

Q.3How much candy tax should parents take?

Whatever your family finds fair. Some households take one piece per bag, others a favourite type. The classic form uses an official-sounding standard household rate you can explain however you like.

Q.4Is the candy tax form free?

Yes. The classic Candy Tax Assessment is free and unlimited, with no account needed.
