It is the money withheld from the merchant by banks and credit card companies to pay for the privilege of using a credit card in the transaction. This tax also frequently falls on cash customers, because credit card contracts with merchants generally provide that merchants cannot reveal the tax with a surcharge for using a credit card. Merchants can offer cash discounts, but most do not, charging the same prices, and so cash customers subsidize credit card fees. This is VERY big business, due to [[Monopoly, Oligopoly, Market Power and AntiTrust|oligopoly]] in the industry. | show=}} <!-- insert wiki page text here --> <!-- DPL has problems with categories that have a single quote in them.
