Fiscal Postal
Fiscal Postals; From 1 January 1880 to 1 July 1892 all listed postage stamps in Stanley Gibbons & Scott catalogue were available for revenue purposes including ALL stamps issued prior to Jan 1880 [inc SG 1]. This time frame also allowed revenue stamps to be used postally.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Registered & Too Late Revenues
The Registered label of 1861 & 1864 did not pay the postage and was an additional fee for the registered service this can be classed as a revenue. To complicate matters further Queensland also had a 'Too Late' fee, for late posting, unfortunately no stamp was produced and this 'fee' was paid with a 6d postage stamp, if found on cover the Late Fee paid by a postage stamp can also be classed as a revenue. These fee stamps are listed in SG & at the end of Queensland in the Scott catalogue.
