What are fiscal stamps? Gustamps explain.
Gustamps are often asked about fiscal stamps. New collectors ask Gustamps what they are. Gustamps reply is that fiscal stamps are not strictly postage stamps. They are stamps intended for revenue receipts. They are often found on legal documents, contracts, or in passports. Gustamps say that sometimes postage stamps are used for fiscal purposes. These often have blue or purple cancellations or are sometimes signed or initialled by hand in ink. According to Gustamps, postage stamps used fiscally are of much lower value than those used for normal postal use.
