tax stamp
Government payment proof
A tax stamp is a small adhesive label or imprint affixed to a product proving that required taxes have been paid.
Tax stamps appear most commonly on cigarettes, alcohol, and cannabis products: Each pack must bear a state tax stamp.
Historically, tax stamps on documents and goods sparked major protests, including resistance to Britain's Stamp Act in colonial America.
