Waterford Gift Vouchers
Vouchers can be ordered on our online shop or via email to info@waterfordchamber.ie.
Under the small benefit tax-exemption an employer can provide one benefit to an employee each year up to a value of €500. Many people provide Waterford Gift Vouchers as that benefit. During the COVID-19 crisis Revenue are concessionally allowing an employer to give this benefit more than once per year, but within the same overall limit of €500 in a year. If you wish to reward an employee at this exceptional time or wish to pay someone in excess of the income allowed under the Covid 19 income subsidy, you could use one or more Waterford Gift Vouchers. We would encourage you to use those vouchers so that the money is spent locally
Certificates of Origin
Online service as normal. For offline service, please email michael.lynagh@waterfordchamber.ie to make arrangements.
