Why get a salary sacrifice car?

Save a fortune on income tax and NI

Salary sacrifice allows you to pay for your car with your pre tax earnings which reduces how much tax you pay.
This is how you can make a big saving on your car payments.

It works for 20% tax payers and even better for 40 and 45% tax payers.

Access hybrid & electric cars

Not everyone is ready for fully electric cars, but they might be tempted by hybrids.

Make your salary sacrifice scheme more valuable by offering both, instead of just electric like most salary sacrifice schemes.

Pay for your car insurance before tax too

It’s not just the car that you can pay for with your pre tax earnings, it’s the insurance too.

This can make a big difference to the overall cost of your car.

Reduce the total cost of your car even further by paying for your car insurance with your gross earnings.

Servicing, tyres, brake pads... all included

The total cost of running a car can add up when you factor in maintenance, servicing, tyres, brake pads, windscreen wipers etc.
Get rid of all of those added costs as it is all included with salary sacrifice.

FAQs

Why choose Vehicle Consulting?

This is how we differ from our competitors:

The main one is that our of the cars tend to be a lot better than almost all salary sacrifice providers.

Hybrid & Electric Cars

We manage the whole scheme for you with a team of experts who actually know about cars. This makes sure the scheme runs smoothly and isn’t a burden for your business.

No “Accelerated Payments”

The monthly payments on our cars are consistent every month unlike some other salary sacrifice providers.

This means payroll can set up the deduction once and leave it and also makes it easy for drivers to budget each month.

Do I need to worry about depreciation of the car?
No, you don’t need to worry about the depreciation of the car with a salary sacrifice scheme because you don’t own the car.

Since you’re leasing the vehicle rather than owning it, the depreciation risk is managed by the leasing company.

This allows you to enjoy driving a new car without the financial concerns associated with its decreasing value over time.

What is included?
Insurance, maintenance, servicing, tyres, breakdown cover… all included with salary sacrifice.

This is what can make a big difference in getting a car yourself.

Especially the car insurance.

Does it change your tax code?
Your tax code will change if you get a car through salary sacrifice, but this is nothing to worry about.

It changes so you can pay your benefit in kind tax.

The lower the benefit in kind percentage your car has, the less your tax code will change.

Does it affect your pension?
Yes, a car salary sacrifice scheme can affect your pension contributions because it reduces your gross salary.

However, many employers set it up to maintain your pension contributions at their original level.

It’s important to discuss with your HR department to understand how this scheme might impact your specific pension plan and to ensure you’re making the best financial decisions for your future.

Petrol, diesel and other types of hybrid are not worth it through salary sacrifice.

Does it work for petrol/diesel cars?

Petrol/Diesel

It isn’t worth getting petrol or diesel cars through salary sacrifice because you have to pay so much back in benefit in kind tax.

Plug In Hybrids

You can get plug in hybrids through our salary sacrifice.

If you are getting a PHEV, choose one with a low benefit in kind rate, as these vary from car to car.

Avoid any other type of “hybrid” that isn’t PHEV.

EVs

These work best with salary sacrifice because they have the lowest benefit in kind rate.

This is how you make the biggest savings.

What if you leave?
Early termination protection will usually cover you in this situation.

How this works can vary from employer to employer, so it is worthwhile checking how it will work with salary sacrifice.

Is there a direct debit?
There is no direct debit for you as an employee.

The monthly cost of your car is taken directly from your payslip.

This means the salary sacrifice payment will appear on your payslip each month.
