Irish Credit Card Stamp Duty’s Uncovered.
Posted in Finance on August 4th, 2009 by Peter Carville – Be the first to commentIreland is the only country that has a credit card stamp duty. A stamp duty is a tax the government imposes on certain legal documents. The word “stamp” is a holdover from the days when an actual physical stamp was attached to a document to prove that the duty had been paid. The stamp duty on Irish credit cards and charge cards is for ?30 per year per account. Charge cards are like credit cards except there is no interest because you pay it off at the end of the month.
