It already happens indirectly. Most digital money transfers are things like credit card transactions. For these, the credit card company takes a percentage fee and pays the government tax on its profit.
Wow, really? I guess it’s American thing. I think I know only one person with the credit card. And she only uses it up to the interest-free limit to “farm” her reputation with the bank in case she really needs a loan, so she doesn’t actually pay the fee.
The customer doesn’t pay the fee directly. The vendor pays the fee (and passes the cost to the customer via price). Sometimes vendors offer a cash discount because of this fee.
