The stamp tax actually came into effect in February 13 1765, this tax was for newspapers, pamphlets, bonds, leases, deeds, licences, insurance policies, even playing cards! however, it was a total unsuccess and in july 1765, the act was repealed due to so much angry responses to it!!

threre was no specific %, as it varied from item to itemWww@QuestionHome@Com
