How does Salary Sacrifice Work?

Salary Sacrifice enables your employees to lease a brand-new vehicle of their choice through the company, which the employee covers the cost of by sacrificing a portion of their gross salary. There are significant financial benefits to both the employer and employee, especially when an electric vehicle is chosen.

Here at SalSac, several partners work together to ensure a smooth, compliant, and hassle-free experience for both employers and employees. Each party has a specific role to play, with SalSac bringing the process all together.

The Funder: Owns the vehicle and leases it to the employer for the duration of the agreement. The agreement will be a Business Contract Hire, very similar to any business lease.

The Broker: Acts as the main point of contact between the business, employees, and funder, managing vehicle quotations, orders, and delivery.

SalSac Administration: Handles all calculations related to the salary sacrifice arrangement, including Benefit-in-Kind (BIK), tax, and National Insurance savings.

Payroll Reporting: Managed by SalSac, ensuring accurate deductions, compliance, and ongoing support for both employer and employee throughout the lifecycle of the scheme.
