 | | LETS is not a scheme for avoiding the payment of taxation, and generally schemes encourage all members to personally undertake their liabilities to the state for all taxation, including income tax and goods and services tax. |
 | | LETS can help revitalise and build community by allowing a wider cross-section of the community—individuals, small businesses, local services and voluntary groups—to save money and resources in cooperation with others and extend their purchasing power. |
 | | LETS currencies have their own names, and often reflect local distinctiveness: Readies in Reading, Locks in Camden Town, Groats in Stirling, New Berries in Newbury, Berkshire, Piers in Southend-on-Sea, Hearts in Birmingham, Furze in Furzedown. |
