Very little has been written about Luxembourg revenue stamps or stamped paper, and even less about Luxembourg communal revenue stamps. The basic reference remains John Barefoot's BENELUX REVENUES, now in its second edition. This blog builds on and adds to the existing literature, and attempts to inspire others to share information about Luxembourg revenue philately. The revenues from the 140 communes are featured on a separate blog: www.luxcommunalrevenuestamps.blogspot.com .

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.

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?
