The name for them is revenue_stamp
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revenue_stamp
"Tax" is a surcharge on another service (sales tax) - this for a fee paid directly for a service - which is revenue for the government agency accepting the money.
It is also proof that a fee has been paid (you have the stamp!) so they are sometimes affixed to non-paperwork objects (alcohol bottles,etc) to prove that the proper payment has been made to the proper agency regulating the good before sale - where sales tax would then be applied.
