Today (18/03/2020), in light of the Minister for Finance, Paschal Donohoe, setting out plans to defer the collection of stamp duty on credit cards, Revenue has confirmed that the stamp duty on credit cards will not be collected until 1 July 2020.

Generally, financial institutions collect the stamp duty from credit card accounts on 1 April each year. The stamp duty due on credit cards is €30 per year per credit card account.
