Interesting Cancel, Please Identify Country

I am going through stamps and found this and a few others like it but can't identify. I only have the Scott #1 and the net. I'm going through about 800 stamps mostly U.S. but there are some other countries stamps in small amounts. Would appreciate the help.

It is a GB stamp. It is used fiscally. To put it simply: there used to be a tax on receipts. When you paid money, this tax had to be paid by affixing postage stamps to the receipt form (since the government owned the Post Office the money used to buy the stamps went into the government 'pot'). But since the government didn't want you to simply go home, soak the stamp off your receipt and use it for posting letters, the person giving the receipt had to make it unusable, sometimes by cancelling with a handstamp, more usually by signing and writing Paid across the stamp in ink. That is what has happened here.

I only collect US airmail and aviation topicals, but I once read somewhere that if it had Queen Victoria on it, and the country was not named, it was Great Britain.

Looks like this, to me:

This should be either Scott 88 (14 dots in each angle) or Scott 89 (16 dots in each angle). My eyes hurt trying to count your dots (sorry).

Scott #89 (16dots)...Check to see if has NO watermark...As in Scott #89c

I have 4 of them..all watermarked...

Looks like 16 dots to me.

It's 16 dots. Checking the watermark. Thanks so much for the information, I get stumped easy sometimes but still learning. I have about 800 random stamps from 20 different countries but most of the collection is from the U.S. Next up is Japan, Malta, and the Philippines. Oh what fun it is to ride.......

As mentioned it was taken off of a document and if you notice, your Great Britain stamp states "Postage and inland revenue". Many countries such as the US printed stamps only for revenue purposes but GB made theirs to be used for either. Here is an example.

My favorite part of this document is the Telephone number in the upper right. The Telco # is 5, just 5.

Stallzer, my favorite thing would also be the one-digit telephone number! Although there must be lots of them out there somewhere, I don't think I've ever seen that on a document.

At least nine others.
