in Credit cards
Trying to renew my car tax. In the light of legislation stating that there should be no charge levied for the use of a credit card, how can the government do so when you want to pay for car tax by CC?
Is the government breaking their own law?
Comments please!

Are you using a business credit card? If so, they are still allowed to charge a fee. There should be no fee applied if you are using a personal credit card.0

If the site charges for any card use, it's fine, it's only if they charge just for CC that it's not.
Just pay by direct debit and avoids any risk0 -

Yes - but if you're paying it in one go then there is no surcharge0 -

Only non-personal CCs should be charged the £2.50 fee. Wasn't that clearly stated on the DVLA site when I paid our VED in December so I paid by Debit card.
Could have got a good few pence cashback if I'd known and used my CC.0 -
Paid mine on line and no fee for using cc.0

Also, there is an extra amount payable pro rata if you only pay six months in a one off, rather than the twelve month option.0 -
