Salary Sacrifice

Salary Sacrifice Car Schemes benefit both your employees and your business

Employers benefit from minimal costs
With Salary Sacrifice your business will benefit from minimal costs as well as the added benefit of zero risk from early termination fees. You will also be able to claim significant tax relief from electric vehicles.

You’ll also have the added assurance that your employees are driving safer and cleaner cars that will reduce your grey fleet risks.

Employees gain access to a brand-new car
Our salary sacrifice scheme allows your employees to slightly reduce their gross salary in return for the use of a non-cash benefit. The employee then gains access to a brand-new car, with all running and maintenance costs included. This is a great option for employees who may not qualify for a company car.

If you’re keen to find out more about the benefits of company cars against a salary sacrifice scheme for your employees please contact us today – our award-winning fleet team are here to help.

The perfect time to switch to electric 
For battery-electric cars, benefit-in-kind (BIK) tax has reduced to 0% for the tax year starting April 2020. It will then rise by just 1% for the following 2 years:

0% for 2020/21
1% for 2021/22
2% for 2022/23
2% for 2023/24
2% for 2024/25

Zero-emission vehicles with a list price of less than £50,000 will also be eligible for the Government’s plug-in car grant.

Salary Sacrifice made easy

With Fleet Alliance, you will gain exclusive access to our Salary Sacrifice Calculators. These have been designed to highlight the potential savings for both employees and employers.  For employees, you’ll be able to see potential tax and NIC savings with a salary sacrifice car, along with the net cost versus a comparable PCH deal.

Is Salary Sacrifice right for you?

An ever-increasing number of fleets have decided to opt for salary sacrifice schemes as a direct replacement to the more traditional company car.

However, this wasn’t the original intention for salary sacrifice – to act as a direct replacement – and our insight and analysis would point to the fact that these schemes actually work better when running alongside one another.  We have the expertise to help our Clients and Fleet Managers to fully appraise their fleet make-up; looking at eligible employees, staff turnover, and a range of other key factors.

In reality, salary sacrifice schemes do not always mean additional benefits for businesses or their drivers, and may not provide better cost benefits, in comparison to a company car scheme. It’s worth having a full fleet appraisal prior to making a decision – speak to us today.
