Uganda issued revenue stamps from around 1896 to the 1990s. There were numerous types of revenue stamps for a variety of taxes and fees.〔 ==British Protectorate== Around 1896, typeset postage stamps of Uganda were used for fiscal purposes by the British Vice Consul. These stamps did not bear any printed overprint, but the word ''Consular'' was handwritten in manuscript diagonally on the stamps. The 1898 stamps portraying Queen Victoria also exist with this manuscript overprint. In around 1898, the same Queen Victoria stamps were issued with an overprint reading ''Inland Revenue'' for use as general-duty fiscal stamps. These were replaced by East Africa and Uganda stamps overprinted ''Uganda Revenue'' in around 1903. Similar overprints were later issued on stamps of Kenya and Uganda or Kenya, Uganda and Tanganyika. Similar overprints remained in use on nearly every definitive issue up to independence. From 1932 to 1938, various ''Luwalo'' stamps were issued to pay a labour-related tax. No issued examples are known to have survived and the only copies are specimens in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office Collection of the British Library. These were replaced by poll tax stamps in 1940, which were Nyasaland key types showing King George VI. These remained in use until the 1950s. In the 1930s, various Uganda revenues (previously overprinted on Kenya & Uganda or KUT stamps) were additionally overprinted to pay the motor driver's licence. From around 1946 to the mid-1950s, the 10/- value from the contemporary KUT George VI definitive issue were overprinted for use as immigration stamps. There are three types of the overprint. Impressed duty stamps were introduced in Uganda in 1918 showing a design of a crown and leaves. These remained in use until the 1960s.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Revenue stamps of Uganda」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
