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> 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>"}
