Employee Savings

Employees could save up to 42% on the cost of a cycle and cycling safety accessories for the purpose of cycling to work.

Your employees pay for the bike through a Salary Sacrifice arrangement and are in effect hiring the bike from you, their employer, and paying for this through their gross or pre-taxed pay.  They are therefore able to make savings of between 32% and 42% through lower Tax and National Insurance (NI) contributions.
