Action
By adding your voice to our growing coalition of Tennessee merchants, you have strengthened our effort to end unjust treatment for Tennessee’s tax collecting businesses.
It is simply not right that payment card companies continue to reap a windfall because your company is required to collect taxes for state and local governments.

We urge you to alert those business owners and to ask them to join the Alliance for Swipe Fee Fairness!
