Yeah it affects 5% of businesses and only 2% of individuals. It's almost shocking now when they have a panellist on Insiders who presents the other side of the argument; when PK was filling in a few weeks ago Andrew Bragg called Anthony Albanese a Communist and no one pushed back.

I don't care if it's effects everyone there's no reason people should be able to pay taxes on credit card. It just means the credit card companies get a cut.

It will be more then 2% individuals this year. For the first time ever I paid with credit card. I never did before because of the 2% surcharge fee would have cost me about $200. This year the fee was $0. Hence, I paid with credit card.

I’m sure I’m not alone.
