Only under very rare circumstances would we consider paying cash in exchange for vouchers. Charities have bank accounts and will be paid by BACS or cheque.
Yes. Shul Fees are not considered personal benefit and clients do set up standing orders directly from their
Keren Shmuel accounts to their respective synagogues.
No. Keren Shmuel is a charity, not a bank.If pre-stamped/cheque vouchers are submitted but cannot be honoured then the voucher will nor be processed unless outstanding tax is due. It can happen that a voucher can actually block other monies so always stay in credit.
Pre-paid vouchers are valid indefinitely. Pre-stamped and cheque vouchers that are not dated are also valid indefinitely. Only pre-stamped or cheque vouchers that are dated have a lifetime, which is currently fixed at six months
Some clients add small stickers limiting the validity date to two or three months.
