Hi Richard ... in the 1940's Lebanon required a correspondence tax on foreign correspondence. This tax was often paid using a revenue stamp on the back flap which was then cancelled by the local post office.
In short, it's a documentary revenue stamp properly used.
This is a great cover and nice evidence of a tax letter.
Cheers, Hugh
