Your tax-efficient solution to modern mobility

Salary sacrifice is an HMRC-approved way of paying for certain products ‘pre-tax’. For electric vehicles this means the cost of your EV comes out pre-tax and is all-inclusive of finance, maintenance, standard tyre replacements, breakdown assistance, warranty, insurance and early termination cover. You may choose to salary sacrifice the installation of an electric charge point too.

You will have to select a mileage allowance for your agreement, this will set the maximum number of miles a vehicle can be driven over the contract period before excess mileage charges apply. This is a factor in calculating your monthly payments. It may be possible to change the mileage allowance within a contract, but this would depend on the specific terms and conditions of the contract and the policies of the leasing company. Our Client Services Team at Pike + Bambridge will assess this periodically to advise on any changes that might need to be made.

Your employer will have decided how this is organised as part of your salary sacrifice benefit. Typically this will be included as part of the package. Our team will work with you on assessing the best policy option for you and any additional drivers.

You are free to add additional driver(s) in line with the terms of your chosen insurance policy. Our experts can give you more details on the exact criteria for additional drivers.

Your salary sacrifice agreement terminates if you leave your employer. For worst case scenarios, termination cover is typically included. It provides protection in the event that your employment is terminated before the end of the agreement, and you are unable to continue making the monthly payments. However within the first 6 months of ownership of the car, there would be a penalty. Should it be after 6 months, and the situation falls under an acceptable reason to give up the car, there would be no financial costs.
