Most states impose a surcharge on tax payments made by credit card. The practice is legal in Connecticut and most other states that I'm familiar with.
I believe the gentleman known as FLL is confusing governmental obligations with use of credit cards in retail settings. Many states do prohibit surcharges in those cases. Of course, we all know the cost of credit card use is reflected in the price of goods and services.
