Card fees

You can pay your tax using a credit card these days – but, like budget airlines and theatres, the taxman will slap a charge on top for doing so. It’s gone up from 1.25% to 1.4%. At least they are up-front with a warning on their website. Maybe if you earn loyalty points it’s worth doing... but there’s no charge for paying by debit card. Make sure you know the difference!
