Government Stamp Duty on a debit card

Government Stamp Duty (GSD) is a tax on all Visa Debit and ATM cards which is only charged when you use the card to withdraw from a cash machine. We apply the charge for government stamp duty, in January or February each year. If you do not have enough money in your account, we will apply the charge whenever there is enough money to pay it.

How Government Stamp Duty is calculated

The most you will be charged is €5 for any one debit card and €2.50 for any one ATM only card.
