German Fiscal/Tax Revenue Looking For Stamp #'s

I've been searching the net and haven't been able to fin d a site that an help me locate some catalog numbers.
I don't normally collect Revenues therefore don't wish to get specialized catalogs for every country.

I also don't wish to abuse my fellow forum members to look this up for me. If anyone has website that could help let me know. I have tried the usual suspects & they are very limited on revenue stamps.

These 3 are from Germany during the Weimar Republic (1920-1932). That much I have discovered.





Any website with info about these would be greatly appreciated.

It is possible to find revenue stamps on www.stampworld.com . They show these for some countries, but you have to find the button on the right hand side once you are in the catalog section.
Another way is to use Google. I just did and found all your examples and more!

All I can offer is that the first two specimens are income tax stamps, from 1922 I think.

According to the German Reich Income Tax Act of 1920, employers were required to withhold taxation payments from their employee's salaries or wages. Each employee was issued a tax record book by the local tax offices, and for each pay period, the employer would adhere a stamp for the amount of money withheld for taxes.

Classic_paper is correct. The 4000 mark stamp is listed by the Erler-Norton Catalogue of the Adhesive Revenue Stamps of Germany vol. I, 1988 ed., as H17 with a value of .20. This is a bit higher than the other 6 values of the set. Also, it must be perf 14. The other 6 values could be either perf 14 or perf 13.

The other income tax stamp is #H30, from a set of 19, with highest value being 1 trillion marks. There are 2 varieties of this 500 thousand mark stamp; if it is perf 14, then your stamp is H30a, catalog value .25, and if is perf 13, then your stamp is H30b, catalog value .30. With this stamp you don't have to be concerned with direction of burelage "points", because the 500,000 M value was only printed with the cheaper, and normal/usual "points up".

The third stamp is a state of Prussia documentary revenue of the 1911-20 series. The 400 mark value is only found as perf 14, so this is #158 as listed in the Erler-Norton Catalogue of the Adhesive Revenue Stamps of Germany, vol.IV, 1992 edition. Mint or used the value given is US$6.00. This one appears to be #158c, the red brown shade. 158a is light brown and 158b is brown. All of the 158's are the same $6 price, mint or used.

Erler-Norton values tend to be on the low side, in my opinion.

Thank you everyone, as usual full of information and places and books to check things out.
