How a Salary Sacrifice Car Scheme Works
A salary sacrifice car scheme allows employees to lease an electric vehicle through their employer by exchanging part of their gross salary.
Because the deduction happens before income tax and National Insurance are applied, the employee’s overall tax liability is reduced. This often results in a lower effective monthly cost compared to leasing privately.
Most schemes include:
- Vehicle lease
- Insurance
- Servicing and maintenance
- Road tax
- Breakdown cover
This makes salary sacrifice schemes a convenient way for employees to access electric vehicles with predictable monthly costs.
