What is the salary sacrifice for Cycle2Work?
Salary sacrifice is where an employee agrees to give up part of their pre-tax salary in exchange for a benefit from their employer, in this case, the hire of a cycle and/or cycle accessories through the Cycle2Work scheme.
Since a portion of the salary is foregone, the employee pays less tax and National Insurance contributions on the amount sacrificed.
