Should I take trading online vouchers?

utmbuilder · 07-06-2020 11:16pm #1

I have a small Marketing Company SEO, Digital Marketing , Ecomm

Our sales drives are very strong however as of this month, 8 new boarding customers are offering online trading vouchers , in different council areas.

Can any sole trader accept these vouchers? Or should I stay well clear of them?

Do they require anything additional from me other than a vat invoice, dealing with 5 or so different LEO centres would be a hell or a burden to get paid.

About halfway through reading your OP, I thought, "this person's gotta be in / from another country, I don't understand what they're on about!"

Then I realised that you are here, I'm just not up to speed on things anymore, and the words of a wise old man came to me...:

I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it, and what's it seems weird and scary to me, and it'll happen to you, too.

To the OP

I assume this is what you're on about

or this

Do you need to be an approved provider for the customers voucher to be cashable ?

Important Notes
Vouchers will be available to a maximum value of €2,500 or 90% eligible expenditure (exclusive of VAT), whichever is the lesser
Voucher approval must be gained prior to incurring any expense
Own labour is not an eligible expense
Third party costs only will be considered
All third party/supplier invoices must contain proper business details (e.g. Tax and Business Registration details)

While this is from South Cork LEO. Perhaps a phone call to them might clarify.
