What is Salary Sacrifice?

In a salary sacrifice scheme, an employee agrees to reduce their gross salary in exchange for a non-cash benefit such as an electric car lease, bike, purchase of additional days holiday or other benefit.

How does it provide a tax benefit?

Because the deduction is made before tax and National Insurance (NI) contributions are calculated, both the employee and the employer can benefit from tax savings.

Employee Tax Benefits

โ— Reduced Income Tax : By reducing their gross salary, the employee's taxable income is lower. This means they pay less income tax each month.
โ— Reduced National Insurance Contributions: Similarly, with a lower gross salary, the employee pays less in National Insurance contributions.
โ— Overall Savings: The combined savings on income tax and National Insurance can significantly reduce the net cost of leasing an EV through a salary sacrifice scheme, making it much more affordable.

Employer Tax Benefits

Reduced National Insurance Contributions: Employers also pay National Insurance contributions on their employees' salaries. When an employee participates in a salary sacrifice scheme, the employer's NI contributions are reduced as the employee's gross salary is lower. This can lead to cost savings for the business.
