I notice on the latest statement for our joint current account 2 x €15 charges for our ATM/Debit Cards. This is annual Government Stamp Duty.
Ditto on our credit cards - we pay 2 x €40 Government Stamp Duty charges annually.
We also pay €3.75 Government stamp duty for each cheque book we receive - that's about €10 - €15 per annum extra.
So we pay approximately €120 per annum in "bank charges" to the Government.
By way of contrast, we pay no charges to our bank!
Who's screwing you?
