Excise and War Tax Stamps
While the War and Excise Tax stamps issued by the federal Revenue Department have been traditionally catalogued as separate varieties, these issues are really all one and the same type of revenue stamp. The variations in the inscription were a result of the period in which the basic, unsurcharged stamp was issued. The chronology of the inscriptions is as follows:
| 1915 | War Tax (provisional overprint on postage stamps) |
| 1915 - 1919 | Inland Revenue - War Tax |
| 1920 - 1921 | Inland Revenue - Excise Tax |
| 1922 | Customs and Excise - Excise Tax |
| 1923 onwards | Excise - Accise |
All of these stamps, regardless of their inscription, were used to collect some of the taxes imposed under the Special War Revenue Act, which was renamed the Excise Tax Act. All but one of these stamp taxes were repealed or converted to a non-stamp tax in or before 1953.
