What can all our members Agree on, not a hard question at all – Credit Card Fees!
Whether you are a service station with bay, convenience store, or repair facility, this is the one item that affects all.
On the federal level NACS – National association of Convenience Stores is asking members (WMDA/CAR is a state member) to contact their federal representatives to send a message on a bill that has been reintroduced -Credit Card Competition Act | NACS and we are asking our members to do the same. Credit Card fees are one of your biggest expenses, don’t put this off.
The Budget Reconciliation and Financing Act of 2025 (“the Act”)1 created a new fee on the first sale of a new tire (“new tire fee”) in Maryland. The Comptroller is required to distribute the revenue from the new tire fee, less the costs of administration, to the Transportation Trust Fund.
The Act also increased the rate of the existing tire recycling fee. The Comptroller is required to distribute the revenue from the tire recycling fee, less the costs of administration, to the Used Tire Clean Up and Recycling Fund.
Both the new tire fee and the increase to the existing tire recycling fee go into effect on January 1, 2026.
