新西兰商业团体敦促拒绝商家附加税禁令,担心价格大涨和对小公司造成损害。 New Zealand business groups urge rejection of merchant surcharge ban, fearing broad price hikes and harm to small firms.

新西兰商业团体正在敦促政府放弃对商家附加费的计划禁令,警告它会迫使全面涨价并伤害小企业。 New Zealand business groups are urging the government to abandon a planned ban on merchant surcharges, warning it would force across-the-board price hikes and harm small businesses. 他们主张个人家庭信用卡收费上限为1%,借方收费上限为0.5%,认为这平衡了消费者保护和商业可持续性。 They advocate for capping fees at 1% for personal domestic credit cards and 0.5% for debit, arguing this balances consumer protection with business sustainability. 这些团体说,全面禁止将不公平地将成本转移给所有客户,降低透明度,扼杀创新,特别是在即将实行的互换费削减生效之时。 The groups say a blanket ban would unfairly shift costs to all customers, reduce transparency, and stifle innovation, especially as upcoming interchange fee cuts take effect. 它们要求政府参与制定公平、有的放矢的条例,规定外国和商业卡费,同时支持金融技术公司的增长。 They call for government engagement to develop fair, targeted regulations that account for foreign and commercial card fees while supporting FinTech growth.
