Revenue stamps of the British Virgin Islands

Map of the British Virgin Islands

The British Virgin Islands has issued revenue stamps since 1988. The first issue consisted of two values of $25 and $100, which represented the fee for wedding licences. In 1996, a set of three values – of $10, $40 and $50 – was issued with a design showing a bird. The first issue had no imprint date, but the $40 is also known with imprint dates of 1997, 1999 and 2003. A $100 recently was added to the series, and a $500 in 2011.[1]

The United States Virgin Islands also issue their own revenues.
