Cycle to Work Scheme

Healthier Staff, Greener Commutes & Tax Savings

What is the Cycle to Work Scheme?

The Cycle to Work Scheme is a government-backed initiative that enables employees to obtain a new bike and safety equipment through their employer, paying for it via salary sacrifice. By spreading the cost over 12–36 months and paying from their gross salary, employees save on Income Tax and National Insurance contributions. Employers can also save on their National Insurance bill, making it a cost-effective benefit for both sides.
