	British Empire War Tax - (Stamps & Usages/Postal History)
		The "War Tax" stamps were issued by various entities within the British Empire (see list below) during World War I (and in the case of North Borneo, during World War II) to help fund the war effort.
		The War Tax Acts in most colonies and countries stated that the War Tax stamps were to be used in addition to whatever postage and registration fees were due on the item being mailed (postcards, letters and parcels in some cases).
		While the stamps were supposed to be used just to pay for the War Tax, many times they were also used to pay part of the postage and registration fees (as long as the total amount with the war tax was correct, it appears that most countries did not seem to mind).
