About: Revenue stamps of Nigeria

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Few revenue stamps of Nigeria and its predecessor states have been issued, since most of the time dual-purpose postage and revenue stamps were used for fiscal purposes. The first revenue-only stamps were consular stamps of the Niger Coast Protectorate and the Southern Nigeria Protectorate, which were created by overprinting postage stamps in 1898 and 1902 respectively. The Northern Nigeria Protectorate did not issue any specific revenue stamps, but a £25 stamp of 1904 could not be used for postal purposes due to its extremely high face value.

dbo:abstract
  • Few revenue stamps of Nigeria and its predecessor states have been issued, since most of the time dual-purpose postage and revenue stamps were used for fiscal purposes. The first revenue-only stamps were consular stamps of the Niger Coast Protectorate and the Southern Nigeria Protectorate, which were created by overprinting postage stamps in 1898 and 1902 respectively. The Northern Nigeria Protectorate did not issue any specific revenue stamps, but a £25 stamp of 1904 could not be used for postal purposes due to its extremely high face value. When these protectorates were merged into the Colony and Protectorate of Nigeria, a series of rare revenue stamps was issued. Lagos issued a single tax stamp in 1938, and the Eastern Region issued income tax and revenue stamps in the 1950s. Nigeria also issued Passenger Service Charge stamps in the 1980s and a Stamp Duty stamp in 2006. Nigeria also used impressed duty stamps, and proofs for issues for Southern Nigeria and the Western State are also known. (en)
