Stamp duty is a tax levied on documents. It started off as being a stamp, called a Revenue Stamp, which was attached to a document, showing that the stamp duty on the document had been paid. This duty was levied on legal documents such as cheques, receipts, property transfer documents, marriage licences, etc. Nowadays such a stamp is no longer necessary.
Collecting Revenue stamps is a popular topical subject.
