 | | Liechtenstein's fame doesn't stem from the mere selling of postage stamps, although a sheet of pre-war agricultural designed stamps with a face value of SFr 5 is now worth some SFr 3,000. |
 | | Other hidden Liechtenstein taxes to consider are a stamp duty due on the transfer of shares or bonds in foreign (0.3%) or domestic issuers (0.15%), and a 3% formation stamp tax due on the creation of shares or participation rights in a company. |
 | | Liechtenstein's banks are smallish by international standards, and tend to be overshadowed by the Principality's specialized business in trusts and domiciliary companies. |
