What is an electric car salary sacrifice scheme?
An electric car salary sacrifice scheme lets employees pay for an electric car through their pre-tax salary, saving on Income Tax and National Insurance. Your business saves on employer National Insurance for every car on the scheme, and your employees can save up to 40% on the cost of the car.
In other words: money that would usually disappear to HMRC goes towards your team’s new wheels instead.
Their monthly payment includes insurance (though some employers choose not to include this), servicing, maintenance, repairs, MOTs, road tax, tyre replacements and breakdown cover, the whole shebang.
Plus they choose a charging offer to suit them. £400 off a home charger, £400 home charging credit or £400 public charging credit from Electroverse. T&Cs here.

What could your team save with EV salary sacrifice?
Your team pay for their car from their salary before tax, so they save on Income Tax and National Insurance. The gross cost is what comes out of their pay before tax. The net cost is what their take-home pay actually goes down by, once those savings and a small amount of Benefit-in-Kind tax are counted.
