Why do you think that? People definitely pay taxes by card.

But regardless this contract is _not_ for HMRC payments, its for gov.uk pay which is basically a centralised service that other services can use.

GOV.UK pay has done £9.2B in payments in the last decade, with an average of £67

A very crude calculation for £1B a year in payments (thats probably too low) would mean a payment to Ayden (contract is upto £25M over 3 years) of 0.8%

Most underpaid taxes are collected via a change in tax code for the following year.
