How The Salary Sacrifice Scheme Works For Employees.

Get a brand new or used electric car through work. Pay from your salary before tax,
and save up to 60% compared to a personal lease.

60%

Employees can save up to 60% compared to a personal lease

All included in one payment

What is salary sacrifice?

Salary sacrifice is an HMRC-approved scheme. Your employer agrees to take a portion of your salary before tax is calculated and instead of that money going to HMRC, it pays for your electric car.

Because the deduction happens before income tax and National Insurance are applied, you pay significantly less overall. That’s why employees typically save between 30% and 60% compared to arranging a lease personally.

You pay less because money that would have gone in tax goes towards your car instead.

How the saving works

With salary sacrifice

You pay tax first → then use what’s left to lease your car

VS

Without salary sacrifice

Your car lease is taken before tax → so you pay less tax

Typical saving

30–60% vs personal lease

The higher your salary and tax band, the greater your saving.
