Estonian tax paid issues (excise tax stamps) are described in Eesti Filatelist No.31 (E.F.1977, pp.208-212, The English-language summary there (p.212) states "So far no effort has been made to catalogue these [Excise Duty] stamps ... Likely, the main reason has been the scarcity of such material... All Excise Duty stamps were printed by the State Printing Works in Tallinn and sold to the manufacturers by the Estonian State Bank or Branches in provincial towns. Also these duty stamps were obtainable from certain post offices." Although the exemplary American work "Essays and Proofs of United States Internal Revenue Stamps" dedicates 107 pages (pp.329-436) to tax paid issues, Estonian tax paid issues have only been preliminarily catalogued in Eesti Filatelist No. 31. All tax paid issues below show the Estonian coat of arms. The catalog numbers used here are those established in Eesti Filatelist.
