What is GOV DUTY ATM\POS

Hi
I see two entries in my account for GOV DUTY ATM\POS each €5. Is this something new? Could you explain what is this?

Thank you

Thank you. So if there are two cards in the account it is €5 each.

Yep. That's how they get you! :D No way to avoid it, all the banks have it.

And it is the government charging it and not the banks

[font=Arial, sans-serif]Hi folks,[/font]

[font=Arial, sans-serif]Government Duty applies annually in January to your Visa Debit Card. Currently €2.50 is applied if you have used the Point of Sale functionality (including Contactless) and €2.50 is applied if you have used the ATM functionality. A total of €5.00 is applied if both functions are used at any time during the year.[/font]
