What is a salary sacrifice car scheme?
Salary sacrifice for cars is a way for a company's employees to lease a new car, whilst saving money on tax during the process.
In essence, employers lease a car of an employee's choice on their behalf, with a monthly payment taken from their gross salary.
Because the monthly payment for a vehicle is taken before tax is collected from their income, it's a great way for employees to save money on a new car.
