That is happening in the UK - next week.


That will F**k up HM Government who have two prices for on-line payment
of road fund tax depending on how it is paid. This has always annoyed me
in that on-line you are paying directly to HM Government and they charge
an extra amount if paid by credit card. I could also go to a private
company, Post Office Counters, and pay the lower price using my card for
which PO Counters presumably charge HM Government an administration fee
which I guess is a lot more than the merchant charges on a card.

Is what is happening in the UK a ban on dual pricing or just legislation
to ensure that both prices are shown up front and not hidden until the
last part of the transaction - rather like not declaring ex VAT prices
in adverts until you see the final bill.
