Yes. The paper vouchers usually have expiry dates printed on the back. If the voucher has no expiry date on the back, or if the expiry date is earlier than 2013, then the voucher can be spent.

For gift cards and eVouchers you can look up the expiry date by using our balance checker. Gift cards and eVouchers will expire 30 months (2 1/2 years) from the date on which they are purchased. 

The vouchers have expiry dates because of accounting regulations which govern how unspent gift vouchers need to be accounted for in company accounts. Put simply, if we didn’t have or enforce an expiry date, then it would create a liability on our balance sheet that would last forever, which we cannot sustain.

Unfortunately, due to accounting rules, the HTA cannot extend the life of vouchers beyond the expiry date or replace them with new ones. The HTA is a not for profit organisation, it reinvests its income in promoting, representing and developing the garden industry.
