To set up
No joining fee, no licence, no software to buy. Live in weeks, not months.
£0

Payroll change per driver
One gross-pay adjustment when a car starts, one when it ends. We handle the rest.
For finance and HR
The admin, handled.
Leavers, the figures and HMRC are the three questions we get asked most. Each is written into the scheme from day one.

Leavers are covered
If a driver resigns, is made redundant or retires, an early end is capped at three months. If they are too unwell to work, there is nothing to pay at all. You get the full terms in writing before you sign anything.
The monthly figure is fixed
Every quote is confirmed with the funder and against the tax rules in force before a driver signs, and the sacrifice stays fixed for the term. Benefit in kind tax on the car is set by HMRC years ahead, and the calculator shows it year by year.
HMRC compliance is built in
The scheme is set up as an optional remuneration arrangement the way HMRC expects, every driver is checked against the National Minimum Wage before signing, and we supply the payroll and P11D figures.

How an employee uses it
Pick a car
Enter a salary band and browse every car on the scheme with real monthly costs, not list prices.
We arrange it
One call to confirm the figures. Servicing, maintenance, road tax, tyres and breakdown are part of the price. A home charger can be added and paid across the term too.
It comes off payroll
The cost leaves gross salary each month. No deposit, no credit check, no personal loan.

For employees
Your employer doesn’t offer this yet?
It costs them nothing to look. Send them this note, whether that’s whoever runs benefits, HR or finance, or your boss, and we’ll do the explaining.
Hi,
I found an electric car salary sacrifice scheme that costs the company nothing to run and would let staff pay for an EV from gross salary. Could we look into it?

Common questions
What HR and finance ask about running the scheme, then what employees ask before they pick a car.
For employers
Does it really cost us nothing?
There’s no fee to set the scheme up and nothing to license. You pay the lease and recover it by reducing the driver’s gross salary by the same amount, so the rental itself nets to nothing. You no longer pay employer National Insurance on that salary, you pay a smaller amount of Class 1A NI on the car as a benefit, and you can usually recover half the VAT on the rentals. What is left is a saving, and what you do with it is your choice. The only other cost is a little payroll time.
What happens when a driver leaves?
Cover for leavers and long-term absence is built into the scheme, with a cap on what an early termination can cost and no charge in the cases nobody could plan for. You get the full terms in writing before you sign, and whether any charge is passed on to the driver is a rule you set when the scheme is written.
Which of our people can use it?
Any employee whose pay stays above the National Minimum Wage after the sacrifice, which we check per driver before anything is signed. You can also choose to limit eligibility yourself, for example by probation or contract type, and the scheme applies whatever rule you set.
For employees
What does it do to my payslip?
Part of your salary before tax pays for the car, so your taxable pay falls and with it the tax and National Insurance you pay. You pay benefit in kind tax on the car instead, which is low on electric cars. The calculator shows the effect on your own payslip, year by year, before you talk to anyone.
Do I need a home charger?
Not to start, and there’s nothing to pay upfront. If you want one, we can arrange the installation and spread the cost across the same term, taken from your gross pay alongside the car.
What happens if I leave my job?
If you leave, retire or are made redundant, the agreement ends early and what you pay is capped at three months. If you become too unwell to work, there is nothing to pay at all. That cover is part of the monthly cost rather than an extra, and it is the same on every FleetEV scheme. Terms apply, and we will go through exactly what applies to you before anything is signed.
Does this affect my pension?
It can. A sacrifice lowers your gross pay, so a pension contribution worked out as a percentage of gross falls with it. Many employers avoid that by basing contributions on your pay before the sacrifice, but that’s their choice rather than ours, and it’s worth asking when the scheme is set up.
