regional postage stamps. Example - of Great Britain are the postage stamps issued for regions of the United Kingdom, reflecting the regional identity of the various countries and islands of the British isles.[1]

These are stamps issued for use on letters sent by registered mail.

Also called "Fiscal Stamps" these stamps are used to evidence the payment of various taxes, duties or fees. They are affixed to official documents and sometimes directly to merchandise. Historically stamps inscribed "Postage and Revenue" were available for either use and these are now usually worth much less if fiscally canceled than if postally used.

These are stamps sold at a price that is greater than the stamps postal value, with the additional charge being applied for a special (often charitable) purpose. The denomination shown on these stamps usually has two printed values separated with a '+' sign. The first value is the price of the postage and the second value is the contribution to the special purpose.

A semi-postal stamp or semipostal stamp, also known as a charity stamp, is a postage stamp issued to raise money for a particular purpose (such as a charitable cause) and sold at a premium over the postal value.[1] Typically the stamp shows two denominations separated by a plus sign, but in many cases the only denomination shown is for the postage rate, and the postal customer simply pays the higher price when purchasing the stamps.

Stamps issued to pay for telegraph or telephone services provided by the national postal administration.

Stamps from one postal administration that were supplied for use by that postal administration's post offices in another territory without any special overprints to denote the stamp's use in the second territory. Correct use can only be verified by correct cancellation type on the stamp or cover to which the stamp is applied. Known in German as Vorläufer or Mitläufer. Often found from colonies of European powers before the introduction of specific postage stamps for those colonies or when the Great Powers opened post offices in regions such as Latin America that were politically independent but whose postal administrations were felt deficient compared to European standards.

These are a special type of Postal Tax Stamp where the revenue collected is being used to defray the costs of a war.
