(I work at Stripe.)

Yep, we have the same fees for American Express transactions: 2.4% + 20p + VAT per successful charge.

Can you tell us the corporate structure of Stripe?

Does Stripe have "operations" in the Republic of Ireland?

Will Stripe shuffle UK sales/transactions through Dublin in order to avoid paying corporation tax in the UK?

Quite a lot of people in the UK are sick of companies coming across the Atlantic and playing international tax games.

I think if Stripe decided to base their EU operations in ROI it would be quite legitimate as their founders, the Collison brothers, are Irish.
