Amharc ar fhreagraThere are no Revenue charges on transactions carried out using either debit cards or credit cards. There is, however, a stamp duty on financial cards which is being reduced as announced in my recent Budget speech. The charges are:
A 25 per cent cut in the duty on credit cards reducing the charge from €40 to €30;
A 50 per cent cut in the duty on ATM and debit cards reducing the charge from €10 to €5; and
A 50 per cent cut in the duty on combined ATM and debit cards reducing the charge from €20 to €10.
