@rogerlipscombe @neil I was also wondering about VAT as a mechanism here, possibly tied to card holder not present transactions but that has some awkward edge cases e.g. with local garages and paying over the phone and might lead to more "tell us your PIN" nonsense from the less scrupulous types too.

Maybe that behaviour should attract the extra tax?
