Description
This 40 millime “Tax Stamp” belongs to a specific category of postal figurines used by the Tunisian administration to regularize insufficiently franked or unpaid items at departure. Unlike commemorative issues, tax stamps fulfill a purely accounting and administrative function, marking the rigor of the mail flow management system within the Universal Postal Union. This issue testifies to the meticulous organization of the Tunisian Post services, guaranteeing the balance of correspondence exchanges throughout the national territory and abroad.
