Are unpaid workers allowed for my startup biz?

    Hi,
    What are tax, financial and other implications for a startup sole trading business (not enough profit to pay Vat in first year) if another person requests some hours of voluntary working in that business, unpaid work experience in days/weeks or an internship in months? I have researched the ethical side and how colleges, charities and organisations run their programmes, but have not been able to find tax/financial info for a small biz. Do they stop you from doing it? Also tax-wise, for free or reduced rate vouchers as part of a marketing strategy. How does that work? And what if you put the two together, an unpaid worker gets a voucher for some free stuff, any restrictions?
    I am working through marketing segmentation but this problem keeps coming up and may become an asset. The only thing I can find on revenue.ie is Bik for employees and that doesn't really answer this query. Please point me in the right direction.
    Much appreciated,
    Maria
