At some point in August ATO rolled out some new surcharge fees for payments using different credit or debit cards, with a reduction in fees for some card types.
Among the winners are MasterCard credit and debit card holders, who see fees drop from 0.54% to 0.4% and 0.15% respectively, while Visa debit also reduces to 0.15%.
The Visa credit card surcharge increases a little to 0.58%, and new overseas card surcharges of 2.7% for international Visa and MasterCard payments now apply. American Express fees stay the same at 1.45%.

For the full breakdown of how each card washes out, read on.
