New design for stamps on tobacco goods starts on 1.1.2020

After a reorganization of the central tax authorities in 2018, it has been decided also to change the design programme. Therefore, from 1.1.2020, the design of the stamps for tobacco gooods is changed.

For collectors of Danish stamps, the new design will be called type VII on this site. The tobacco duty is unchanged. Accordingly, the tax codes for cigarettes (code 6) as well as for pipe tobacco and cigarette tobacco (code 3), are also unchanged. The new stamps will here be referred to as series 54 for cigarettes, series 41 for pipe tobacco and series 34 for cigarette tobacoo. These stamps are only printed for 3 months, as the tobacco duty will be raised on 1.4.2020.



Examples of stamps of type VII issued in January 2020 having the new design.
