How Does Salary Sacrifice Work?
As we have mentioned several times in this blog, EV salary sacrifice is a great way of saving money on the lease cost of an electric car by sacrificing a portion of your pre-tax salary. It needs to be set up by your company as an employee benefit for you to take advantage of the tax benefits and then you’re able to choose the car you want, add extras and you could drive away saving thousands.
How Does It Work For Employees?
Three steps explain how salary sacrifice works for employees:
Your employer leases an electric car from a salary sacrifice provider (like The Electric Car Scheme),
Employees get the car (as a benefit) in exchange for their salary.
Your sacrificed salary is not taxable, saving you thousands of pounds.
How Does EV Salary Sacrifice Work For Employers
As you can imagine, the process for employers is slightly different:
