Belgium question

I have two Belgian definitives ~1960 stamped with a large 'T", almost as
big as the stamp. Evidently handstamped rather than overprinted as one is
stamped at an angle. They look like a rubber stamp was used. I didn't see
anything in Scott.

Anyone know?

TIA

Ken

Hi Ken,

These are tax stamps. Or more specific, regular stamps used as tax stamps.

Best regards,
Sir Hystrix

Oops, don't know if it's the same but by "tax" stamp I meant "postage due".

Yep, that's it! My Scott doesn't list them, at least the Belgians, as
postage due though, for whatever reason. Unless I missed them in the brief
postage due section. Oh well, at least I know what they are now and where
to put them in the album. Thanks much.
