WELCOME TO THE CYCLE BENEFIT SCHEME APPLICATION PORTAL
The cycle benefit scheme allows you to access to a Tax and NI Free salary sacrifice arrangement that gives you a super cost-effective way of getting a brand-new bike, cycling equipment or both.
You can save up to 42%* of the usual cost depending on the amount of tax and national insurance (NI) you usually pay and can use the bike for your journey to work (or part of it) and for leisure purposes - Lots more info in our Frequenty Asked Questions.
Examples - If you bought a bike, helmet, lights and high vis in store and the cost was £200 then you pay £200! If you get the same items but apply for a voucher (known as a letter of collection or LoC) via the cycle benefit scheme you only pay £136 if you earn under £50,270 per year (basic rate tax) or £116 if you earn over £50,271 per year (higher rate tax**)! With the added benefit of paying monthly so it’s more affordable than having to pay all in one go!
The maximum value for your organisation is £1,000 with payments spread over 12 months.
