Re: New website to barter your services
Thanks. Yes, just looking into meitheal now it does seem to be a broader version of it.
The plan for the future is to split and expand it into locations as required. At the moment we don't want too add too many section before people start posting. It is something we'll be keeping an eye on though.

Re: New website to barter your services
It is quite empty at the moment, it's been running just over a week and so far has just been running on word of mouth, we're working on trying to get the word out.
As people start posting we hope it starts to snowball some with people realising "hey, i can offer that too" or seeing a trade that interests them.
Thanks for signing up.

Re: New website to barter your services
I don't want to be too boring and pessimistic on a Saturday morning .. But, isn't there taxation issues with Bartering?
I can't find any link right now but I think I remember previous issues regarding VAT on transaction being due and Income Tax / BIK problems?

Surely the main, huge advantage of bartering is not paying tax?
How would someone pay tax on this anyway? - I'll clean the revenue office windows. lol
Looking forward to seeing how this develops.

Didn't even know that you still had to pay tax on non cash transactions......big oops for me, when i had a company with my ex, on a number of occassion would do jobs like this. I once got €400 worth of clothes in return for a job.
Haha leghorn i might have to become your assistant.....althought from past actions i could well be cleaning windows, scrubbing toilets and general dogs body for the next 50 years!!!!

Unfortunately, I think it is. obviously it would be ideal for us and our members if there were tax benefits with barter, so as I said we will be looking into the details!
If you would like to have a look, 'Consideration not in money' is mentioned the on page 72 section 9.2

I'm unsure on that point about it affecting social welfare, but just to clarify we aren't running it as a LETS. We don't introduce any private currency or credits into the exchanges, it's a pure barter system. Again, I'm unclear whether or not this distinction affects social welfare payments.
