High Denomination Tobacco Tax Stamp



Luxembourg BNL Tobacco Tax
(300 grams)

Wow!  A €27.30 tobacco tax stamp.  Certainly must have come from a fine tobacco product.

Who has  a listing of the BeNeLux tobacco stamps with the tax rates?  There are many, although most of mine are denominated for lower amounts.  What does the AO in a triangle at the top symbolize?  Why is there an arrow in a circle next to the weight?  Much yet to learn about these stamps! 

As a life-long non-tobacco user, I'm something of a curiosity at the Luxembourg convenience store tobacco counters.  After buying tobacco products with interesting tobacco stamps, scissors in hand, I just snip off the stamps and hand the products to anybody else at the counter who might like them.  Philately knows no limits, really.

Belgian-Luxembourg All-Digital Cigarette Tax Stamp


Cigarette Tax Stamp with QR Code!

 


The new Luxembourg-Belgian cigarette tax stamp features a digital QR (Quick Response) Optical Code that contains the following information:

LU25
J.T.International Company Netherlands B.V.
LU25.340.2016.AO
278.2016.03.0068065

At www.taxstampforum.com/, I notice that this year's Reconnaissance Tax Stamp Forum Program, to be held in Berlin 30 January-01 February, includes a talk by Quentin van den Hove entitled Belgium and Luxembourg's All-Digital Tax Stamp.  

Who has more information on the uses and denominations of the digital tax stamp?
