Help in identification
Ladies and Gentlemen
I am looking for the answers to the following questions 1. I have 2 stamps from Malaysia with the legend HASIL on them ( Revenue ? )They show what is presumably the State Coat of Arms. One is $5 multicoloured arms on a blue background either Litho or photo about the size of the smallest Canadian definitives in portrait format. The other is $10 monochrome in brown could be recess or litho and somewhat larger. They are cancelled with a postmark-like device which contains "USAT". Can anyone identify the stamps and the usage indicated by the cancellation? 2. Canada 1969 definitives ( small format ). My old Gibbons Elizabethan catalogue indicates that these stamps as well as printer and perf differences were printed on 3 types of paper - toned, white non-flourescent and white flourescent. The 7c green is shown as toned paper only. However I have a copy which appears to be on whiter paper although it is definitively not flourescent.It also appears to be a somewhat brighter green - although this could be caused by a different surface on the paper rather than the colour of the ink. Does anyone have any information or imaginative theories on this? 3. Canada postmark. I have a 1999 Art stamp on which I see part of a horizontal rectangular postmark. Unfortunately only part of the postmark is legible but the top line reads (unidentifiable character) stop M stop P stop P stop (something parcel post ?? ) the middle line is part of a date and the bottom line is I am sure the start of the post code L8E. However it is not on brown paper so it is either off a label stuck on a parcel or from an envelope made fron fairly thick paper. Is this a common postmark and what is its significance?It appears to be handstruck. Any information gratefully acknowledged in advance. If this is succesful I have several other conundrums in the pipeline Thanks Malcolm |

Blair and Tony
Thanks for the info. One supplementary question about the Malaysian Inland Revenue Board. Is this Inland Revenue in the GB sense i.e. Income Tax or as in sense of all Internal Revenue purposes?

The Department of Inland Revenue Malaysia became a board on March 1, 1996, and is now formally known as THE INLAND REVENUE BOARD OF MALAYSIA. The Inland Revenue Board was established in accordance with the Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia Act 1995 to give it more autonomy especially in financial and personnel management; to improve the quality and effectiveness of tax administration. The agency is responsible for the overall administration of direct taxes under the following acts : Income Tax Act 1967 Petroleum (Income Tax) Act 1967 Real Property Gains Tax Act 1976 Promotion of Investment Act 1986 Stamp Act 1949 Labuan Offshore Business Activity Tax Act 1990 I hope this is helpful.

Thank you once again for your assistance. Isn't it wonderful the amount of information we have locked up in our minds? Unfortunately my wife is singularly unimpressed when I trot out this sort of information at the slightest excuse. Thanks again Regards Malcolm TC wrote in message . ..
