Welcome
Who’s it for?
Want to take part? Great! If you’ve received this
mag from your employer then they’re probably
already running a scheme, so things should be
straightforward. There are some limits as to who
can take advantage of the tax breaks, though.
The most important ones are:
You need to be a
UK taxpayer
via the PAYE system
If your earnings are equivalent to the
national
minimum/living wage,
you may be able
to benefit from a discount as part of a special
arrangement with your employer
If your employer is not signed up, invite them

Cyclescheme helps you save money on a new bike for work.
Get on board and save at least 25% on your next bike!
Cyclescheme offers big
savings on the best bikes
and kit. Dealing with
Cyclescheme’s network
of over 2,000 retailers
gives you the widest
choice of equipment.
It's also the most
convenient, easy and
enjoyable way of getting
a new bike or accessories
for cycling to work.
simple salary sacrifice arrangement
with your employer. The way it works
is simple – you give up part of your
salary and receive an equivalent
benefit that is exempt from Income
Tax and National Insurance (NI).
What does this mean in practice?
Well, technically it’s your employer
who buys the bike. You then hire
the bike and accessories from your
employer, and pay back the cost of
the bike from your gross salary (before
tax). Once you have saved your tax
and NI and paid our low end of hire
fee, savings are at least 25%.
Cyclescheme works with over
2,000 retailers across the UK, giving
you access to a massive amount
of choice and expert advice on
equipment selection. To locate your
local store, or to browse the online
options available to you, head to
http://cycsch.me/retail.
Cyclescheme runs schemes with a
number of companies including the
BBC, Google, Rolls-Royce, Tesco and
Jaguar Land Rover, as well as scores
of police forces, councils, universities,
blue-chip companies, and many
government departments too.
So come on in, put your feet up,
and let us give you a guided tour of
the bikes, the accessories, and the
savings that are on offer when you
join Cyclescheme.
Happy cycling!
