What is the Government Stamp Duty ?
The Government Stamp Duty of €40 is an annual tax levied on all credit card accounts. We are responsible for collecting this from our account holders and paying it to the Government.

Send this letter to us and we will ensure that we don‘t charge you again within the same year.
