The festive season is in full swing! With sparkling lights and festive cheer, when’s a better time to show your employees how much they mean to you? Forget the usual hampers or office parties (although you should still do those!) this year, give them a gift that truly makes a difference.
Salary sacrifice electric cars are not just a thoughtful Christmas gesture; they’re a long-term investment in your team’s happiness and your company’s success.
Here’s why this innovative benefit is the ultimate Christmas present and how it sets you up for a bright and sustainable 2025.
Reward Your Team, Spread the Christmas Cheer
Employees who feel valued are more engaged, motivated, and loyal. And what could say “thank you” better than the opportunity to drive home for Christmas in a brand-new electric car?
Did you know that 80% of employees prioritise a better benefits package over a higher salary? A salary sacrifice car scheme delivers exactly that. Your employees can access top-of-the-line electric cars for a single low monthly payment, which includes:
- Insurance: So they’re covered wherever they go.
- Maintenance and servicing: Keeping them safe and stress-free.
- Tyres, breakdown cover, and more: Because the last thing anyone needs at Christmas is a breakdown!
Not only do they enjoy a sleek, sustainable car, but they also save on tax and National Insurance as the cost is deducted from their gross salary. It’s a win-win!
For your business, it’s equally magical. The scheme is free to implement, requires minimal admin, and highlights your commitment to sustainability.
What Is Salary Sacrifice, and How Does It Work?
Think of salary sacrifice as your company’s Christmas miracle. Employees agree to exchange a portion of their pre-tax salary for a fully maintained car. This gives them access to brand-new, used, and stock electric vehicles at a fraction of the cost while simplifying motoring like never before.
For the employer, the process is as easy as decorating a Christmas tree:
- Sign up and complete agreements.
- Set the terms for your scheme, such as who’s eligible.
- Let us take care of the rest, from funding to managing orders.
The scheme runs seamlessly, with payments deducted directly from employees’ salaries. All you need to do is sit back and enjoy the festive goodwill this scheme brings to your workplace.

Why Now Is the Perfect Time to Give
The season of giving aligns perfectly with the growing incentives for electric vehicles. Here’s why offering a salary sacrifice car scheme now makes perfect sense:
- Benefit-in-Kind Tax Rates: Employees pay just 2% tax on their electric car, rising 1% a year until 2028.
- Prepare for the 2035 Diesel Ban: Help your team get ahead of the shift to greener motoring.
- Get Ahead of Luxury Car Tax: Electric cars can easily reach the threshold, so get your team green sooner than later!
