I've just checked a few accounts I havent used in years and its been insidiously leeching away at them all this time.
That doesn't mean that you should ignore the posting guidelines and post anyway.I would have posted this in the other forums but it says Im denied access.
I must agree that the ATM & CC taxes are indiscriminate and opportunistic.
Do you really think that €10 (or €20 pa for a Laser card) is excessive ?
Initially it was introduced I think because the use of cards meant that people used less cheques so the Govt lost out on Medallion Stamp Duty (chqs cost 15c duty each)
"its taken out of childrens communion money " Sorry it's not.....children under 2nd level are not allowed have cards.
Just to keep the arguement balanced !
Yes, I do work in banking but I pay my card taxes like everyone & I feel the money is well spent on my cards.
Gordanus - lets hear it for the good taxes you say - how about the plastic bag tax?

What tax is *not* indiscriminate and opportunistic?
Inheritance tax? Stamp duty? VAT? Income tax? Rates? Water rates? Bin tax?
Let's hear it for the good taxes, please!

Not sure why working in banking is relavant but to answer the question on whether I think €10/€20 is excessive, I do. Why should I pay the government for getting access to MY money that I have already paid tax on when it suits me.
I pay €10 for a taxi home after a night out & in comparison I think the same amount in tax for a whole year of using an ATM card is good value. You wouldn't even get two drinks for a tenner so lets keep it in perspective!
