Cost neutrality
The scheme runs at zero cost to your business
Salary sacrifice is one of the few benefits that funds itself. Lease costs are recovered directly from employee gross salaries, and Employer NI savings cover our fee entirely.
No setup costs and no ongoing charges to the business
Employer NI savings average £1,920 per car, per year
All costs and savings are visible through monthly reporting and your employer portal
-
NI savings
You control your Employer National Insurance savings
When employees pay for their car from gross salary, your Employer NI contributions fall. Those savings belong to your business and you decide what to do with them.
Retain up to 100% to support company costs
Reinvest them to reduce employee car prices and drive higher uptake
Full NI performance reporting available in real time through the employer portal
-
Protection
Complete Employer Protection from day one
In a recent survey, 92% of Finance professionals said they believed EV salary sacrifice carried high financial risk if an employee left mid-agreement. With The Electric Car Scheme, that risk does not exist.
Protected from redundancy, dismissal, long-term sickness, resignation and family leave
No exclusion periods, no caps, no excess and no exceptions
Protection starts the moment each employee takes delivery, not after a qualifying period
"ECS made us feel comfortable that all risks were mitigated, so we could offer staff significant savings without worry." - —Chris Heather, TopCashback UK"
