    Bank charges are gst free so fre is the correct code however if you are using the now default simplified BAS neither free nor not reportable appears on the BAS so either will suffice 

    Merchant fees are taxable ie contain gst and should be reported using the gst code. 

    Technically they are not bank fees as Visa, Mastercard etc are the merchant not the bank
