What is a salary sacrifice scheme & how does it work?
Salary sacrifice is an arrangement employers may make available to employees which is a cost-neutral option for companies who want to offer their employees a car. The employer finances the car through payroll deductions, effectively reducing the employee’s gross salary, while taking advantage of a business’s right to deducted VAT and reduced social security contributions, resulting in savings for both the employer and employee.
