Main Street Kansans Urge Lawmakers to Eliminate Credit Card Swipe Fees on Taxes and Tips

March 3, 2025

“HB 2089 would relieve small businesses, their employees, and their consumers from overpaying credit card swipe fees.”

TOPEKA (March 3, 2025) – The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), the state’s leading small business advocacy organization, announced its strong support for HB 2089, which would exclude sales tax and tips from costly swipe fees (also known as interchange fees) charged by credit card networks.

“Inflation is pushing small business owners and their thin margins to the brink,” NFIB State Director Dan Murray said. “Unfortunately, rising credit card processing fees – which can cost between 1.5% and 3.5% of each transaction – exacerbate the financial strain of Main Street, making it harder for employers to expand their operations, raise wages, and keep their costs competitive. Credit card companies should not be profiting off merchants who collect Kansas’ taxes or workers’ hard-earned tips. HB 2089 would relieve small businesses, their employees, and their consumers from overpaying credit card swipe fees.”
