Vat Implications for Gift Vouchers
SELLING VOUCHERS
When vouchers are sold, no VAT is applied. Any sales within a session will show in the top portion of the
Cash Declaration Detail. These will be shown with the sale price of the voucher as zero rated. The bottom
portion of the Cash Declaration Detail for VAT will therefore not show any values.

Payment by Voucher
When the voucher is redeemed the VAT is attributed dependent upon the articles purchased. i.e. If a zero
rated product is purchased no VAT will be attributed. If however the customer purchases products which
have an element of VAT this will be shown within the session of the date of redemption.
As the value of VAT is attributed upon redemption this will show two lines for VAT on that days’ session, one
to reverse the zero rate VAT and the second to show the VAT for the purchases where applicable.
The value of the voucher will also be seen in the middle section of the Cash Declaration Detail for payment
types.
