Salary sacrifices are perfectly legitimate, and commonplace \u2013 for interest employees might opt for higher pension contributions from his employer. However what makes the EV option attractive is the very low rate of Benefit in Kind taxation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To be able to save 30% on the cost of lease payments is naturally hugely attractive to potential buyers, and is a subsidy paid by government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
