Treatment of retailer vouchers

4

1

This paragraph applies to a face-value voucher issued by a person who—

a

is a person from whom goods or services may be obtained by the use of the voucher, and

b

if there are other such persons, undertakes to give complete or partial reimbursement to those from whom goods or services are so obtained.

Such a voucher is referred to in this Schedule as a “retailer voucher”.

2

The consideration for the issue of a retailer voucher shall be disregarded for the purposes of this Act except to the extent (if any) that it exceeds the face value of the voucher.

3

Sub-paragraph (2) above does not apply if—

a

the voucher is used to obtain goods or services from a person other than the issuer, and

b

that person fails to account for any of the VAT due on the supply of those goods or services to the person using the voucher to obtain them.

4

Any supply of a retailer voucher subsequent to the issue of it shall be treated in the same way as the supply of a voucher to which paragraph 6 below applies.
