Switzerland Revenue Stamp

Switzerland · 1900 ·

This is a Swiss revenue stamp, also known as a fiscal or tax stamp. These stamps were used to collect taxes or fees on various documents, goods, and services, rather than for paying postage on mail.

Revenue stamps were widely used by governments worldwide, including Switzerland, to efficiently collect taxes on legal documents, tobacco, alcohol, and other items before the advent of more modern collection systems.
