answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/05/2018 answer text <p>HMRC accepts payment by credit card on the basis that there is no cost to the public purse. It achieves this by passing the fees charged by the card issuer back to the customer. The Payment Services Directive 2 (PSD2) which came into effect on 13 January 2018 means that HMRC can no longer do this where a customer uses a personal credit card. After careful consideration, HMRC made the decision to stop accepting payment by this method.</p><p> </p><p>In 2016/17 personal credit cards only accounted for 0.2% of payments made to HMRC by value. Fees associated with these payments were expected to be on average £5.5m per annum going forward. To continue accepting personal credit cards HMRC would have to fund the payment of fees from the public purse. This means customers paying by other methods would be cross-subsidising those who benefit from facilities provided by credit card issuers in exchange for fees, including deferring the payment date and collecting rewards.</p> answering member constituency Central Devon answering member printed Mel Stride question first answered 08/05/2018 13:49:24 answering member 3935 label Biography information for Mel Stride
