Cycle Scheme to Work infographic

The Cycle to Work Scheme allows employees to purchase bikes from their gross salary (ie pre-tax) thus making savings of around 40%. Your bike is in essence TAX-FREE!! The savings made vary slightly depending as to whether or not you are a high rate taxpayer, however, the higher the rate of tax that you pay the more that you save.

The Cycle to Work Scheme is very simple for companies to set up and offer to their employees and effectively works through salary sacrifice normally over a twelve month period. This benefits the employee as they are paying for their TAX-FREE bike over the space of a year and the company benefits by providing a very useful and popular employee benefit as well as saving on National Insurance contributions. Additionally, the environment benefits, the employee’s fitness improves and subsequently absenteeism hopefully reduces. It’s a win-win for everyone!
