Paper tax

In 1697 was in England the stamp duty introduced. Regularly this tax was levied on all domestic (ie English) paper production from 1710 to 1861 . Increased protests led to its abolition and thus indirectly to a considerable increase in paper production from 1861.

In Sweden, a paper tax was also payable on domestic paper consumption after the Second World War. This should increase the export of paper.
