Many government websites (HMRC as an example) now won't take credit and debit card payment unless it's a business card, where they can still apply a surcharge. |

Maybe, but I recently (a couple of weeks ago) paid road tax, and for a new passport with my credit card. |

Just got mine - £600 for a diesel Land Rover Defender. If I'd kept my petrol 4 litre V8 doing about 11mpg it would have been about £250. Roll on road pricing, I do less than 6k miles pa in it. -- bert |

If you don't like cc charges just try paying for something by bitcoin. The fees appear from nowhere, the value is up and down like a yoyo and you are working to 8 places after the decimal point so you really have no concept of the value of the lower places. -- bert |
