Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about salary sacrifice

Salary sacrifice is an arrangement where you give up a portion of your pre-tax salary in exchange for a fully maintained electric vehicle. Because the deduction is made before tax and National Insurance, you save money compared to leasing a car with your take-home pay.

Savings vary depending on your salary and tax bracket, but employees typically save 30-40% compared to traditional personal contract hire. Higher rate taxpayers (40%) save more than basic rate taxpayers (20%). Our calculator above shows personalized savings based on your situation.

Our salary sacrifice scheme is available for electric vehicles (EVs) and plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs) with CO2 emissions under 50g/km. This includes popular models from Tesla, Volkswagen, Nissan, Kia, MG, and many other manufacturers.

Everything you need is included: the vehicle lease, road tax, comprehensive maintenance and servicing, breakdown cover, tyre replacement, and MOT tests. You only need to arrange insurance and pay for charging/fuel.

Because salary sacrifice reduces your gross salary, it may affect pension contributions based on a percentage of salary, and could impact mortgage affordability assessments. We recommend discussing with your employer's pension provider and checking with mortgage lenders before proceeding.

If you leave your employer, you'll typically need to return the vehicle or make arrangements to continue the payments yourself outside of salary sacrifice. Some schemes offer early termination protection. Check with your employer for their specific policy.

Yes, the vehicle is available for both business and personal use. That's why you pay Benefit-in-Kind (BiK) tax on the vehicle, though for electric vehicles this is currently only 2% of the vehicle's list price, making it very tax-efficient.

At the end of your contract (typically 2-4 years), you simply return the vehicle to the leasing company. As long as it meets the fair wear and tear guidelines and hasn't exceeded the agreed mileage, there are no additional charges. You can then choose a new vehicle or end the arrangement.
